To determine if a triangle can be formed with given side lengths, we need to check if the sum of the two shorter sides is greater than the longest side.

Let's check if the triangle with side lengths 3.7 inches, 4.5 inches, and 14.1 inches is valid.

Step 1: Order the side lengths from shortest to longest:
3.7 inches, 4.5 inches, 14.1 inches

Step 2: Check if the sum of the two shorter sides is greater than the longest side:
3.7 + 4.5 > 14.1
8.2 > 14.1

Since 8.2 is not greater than 14.1, a triangle cannot be formed with these side lengths.

Therefore, the answer is 2. No, a triangle cannot be formed with side lengths of 3.7 inches, 4.5 inches, and 14.1 inches.
