What is the combination of the three side lengths can be used to make a triangle?

Any combination is possible provides that the sum of any two sides is always greater than the third.
So, given sides of length x and y, the third side z must be such that
x - y < z < x + y when x > y
and
y - x < z < x + y when x <= y
The sum of the lengths of any pair must be larger than the length of the third side.

Is 56 ft 65 ft 16 ft a triangle?
Yes, the three given lengths will form a triangle. Three lengths can make a triangle if, and only if, the sum of the two shorter lengths is greater than the longest length. The two shorter lengths are 56 ft and 16 ft with a sum of 56 ft + 16 ft = 72 ft 72 ft is greater than 65 ft so 56 ft, 65 ft and 16 ft will make a triangle.

Can the side lengths of 541 make a triangle?
If you mean side lengths of 5, 4 and 1 then it is not possible to construct any triangle from the given dimensions.
Do the lengths 4.8 5.5 and 6.8 make a right triangle?

No
What is the largest angle of a triangle if its sides are 5.8cm by 8.3cm by 14.1cm?
The largest angle is 180° - that is if you consider a straight line a triangle. The three lengths do not make a triangle since 5.8 cm + 8.3 cm = 14.1 cm In other words you have a line segment with two line segments on it and the angle in a straight line is 180°
Is there such thing as a three sided polygon that is NOT a triangle?
No. If you have three pencils of different lengths, or three straws, or something similar, try putting them together with each one touching one end of another to make a closed plane figure. The only way to join them to form a polygon is to make a triangle.
Can lengths 6 6 2 make a triangle?
Yes, an Isosceles.
Can side lengths 14 15 21 make a right triangle?
By Pythagoras's theorem, to make a right angled triangle, 142 + 152 should be 212 But 142 + 152 = 196 + 225 = 421 whereas 212 = 441 So these three sides cannot make a right angled triangle.
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.
