no. start with the 8 cm line segment and attach a 2 cm segment at one end and a 2cm segment at the other end. if you bring the unattached points closer and closer together, they will never meet.
in any triangle, the sum of the lengths of two sides is always greater than the length of the third side.

No. The largest side have to be shorter than the sum of the other sides. Here, the largest 8 > 2+5 so there are no triangle.

In a triangle, the sum of any two sides must be longer than the third side. This doesn't fit that.
