No. The length of the longest stick must be less than the total length of the other two.

Why do only some three sticks make a triangle?
A triangle only has three sides. If you put three sticks together, you can make a triangle. If you had four sticks, you cannot make a triangle. That is why only three sticks are needed.
Why is a triangle the strongest polygon?
because you can't just change one of the angles or one of the side lengths without breaking the triangle. All the angles and sides re-inforce each other. Image a square made out of sticks that are attached loosely at the corners. You can squish two of the corners together to make a diamond shape, and you haven't changed the length of the sides. But if you have a triangle made out of sticks, you can't change it's shape without destroying it.
How do you make triangle out of 2 sticks?
snap one in half
Is it possible to make a triangle with 5 matchsticks?
Yes if the match sticks are the same length it's possible to make an isosceles triangle with them
How do you form 8 triangles from 6 sticks?
Use three sticks to form a triangle. Use the other three sticks to form an inverted triangle and place it on top of the first. You will have two large triangles and six small ones - eight triangles in all. The shape is also known as the Star of David.
Can you arrange 3 straight sticks of lengths 10 cm 12 cm and 5 cm into a triangle?
yes
IF you have three straight sticks of lengths 5cm 12cm 19cm Can you arrange these sticks into a triangle?
I cut out the lengths to have a visual look at the problem and the answer is NO you cannot arrange 5cm, 12cm, and 19cm into a triangle. Even straightening out the lengths of 5cm and 12cm into a 180 degree angle will not measure out to the 19cm. You cannot have a side that is more than the length of the other two sides combined in a triangle.
Can you arrange three straight sticks of lengths 5cm 12 cm and 19 cm be arranged into a triangle?
No, the two shortest must add up to more than longest!
Can 9 4 and 11 be triangle?
9, 4, and 11 are three dimensionless numbers. Yes, they can represent the lengths of the sides of a triangle. You can take three straight sticks, cut them to lengths of 9, 4, and 11 inches, then lay them down on a table so that the ends hook up and they form a triangle.
Six match sticks arrange to make nothing?
arrange them to spell NIL <--six match sticks
How can you make 4 equilateral triangles from 6 equal length sticks or matches?
Make a Triangular Pyramid. Place three flat to form the first triangle, then make it into a pyramid with the remaining three. (It's a tetrahedron - a four-sided figure, and all sides are equilateral triangles.)
Why do only some three sticks make a triangle?
A triangle only has three sides. If you put three sticks together, you can make a triangle. If you had four sticks, you cannot make a triangle. That is why only three sticks are needed.
If you have six sticks of lengths 1 cm 2 cm 3 cm 2001 cm 2002 cm and 2003 cm. If you have to choose three of these sticks and form a triangle. How many different choices of three sticks are there whic?
There are 6 sets of three which can be used.
If you have six sticks of lengths 1 cm 2 cm 3 cm 2001 cm 2002 cm and 2003 cm. If you have to choose three of these sticks and form a triangle. How many different choices of three sticks are there that?
Actually its 6. Im not sure how to get it tho

Arrange the sticks as XXIV (Roman Number of 24)
