The two shorter sides when added together have to be larger than the third side. If you have a long side 10 in and two small sides each 1 in, you can't reach the end of the 10 in side making a triangle. Same with 10 in side and two 5 in sides, not a triangle because it doesn't enclose space. it would just look like two lines. If you have a 10 in side, a 5 in side and a 6 in side you now have a triangle. 5+6=11 and 11>10
