Notice how adding any two sides always results in a sum that's larger than the third side (that you didn't add). So this shows you that a triangle is possible here.

Here's where a triangle isn't possible: side lengths of 1, 2, 18
Notice how 1+2 = 3 but that's not larger than 18, so the side lengths come up short making this triangle not possible
