Yes!
Because:
a+b>c.
When you construct a triangle in classical way, you first draw the longest line c. Then you take the "passer" and make circles with the diameters a and b. You get two solutions, which are the mirror-picture of each others.

no i dont think so because if you say 15.3 is the angle then its wrong also if you say 15.3 is the longest side it is wrong. this is cause to find longest side you use the pythogorean triple method smallest number squared + middle number squared =longest number squared so
8.7^2 +11.6^2 = 210.25
square root 210.25 you get 14 .5 it is not 15.3
to find angle in any tringle you use trigonometry its the easiest
so you your supposed length of sides in a triangle and try and solve it and if you try and find the angle you realise it is much bigger round 49deg

I don't see any angle measures for this, but I'm assuming that 11.6 cm, 8.7 cm, and 15.3 cm are the measures of the sides.
This will create a triangle, since the two shortest sides add to a number larger than the largest side.
i.e. 8.7 + 11.6 > 15.3
