Can 8, 11, and 4 be lengths of a triangle?

Question

Can 8, 11, and 4 be lengths of a triangle?

Answer 1

no triangle side can be greater than sum of the other 2 sides

no triangle side can be less than the difference of the other 2 sides

11< 8+4, 11<12

4 > 11-8 4>3

so it's ok,

but very obtuse, getting close to collapsing into a degenerate flat line

largest angle between 8 and 4 sides nearing 180 degrees
