Final answer:

The given measurements can form a triangle.

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine whether the given measurements can form a triangle, we need to check if the sum of the lengths of any two sides of the triangle is greater than the length of the third side.

In this case, let's take the first two sides: 4.26 yards and 7.25 yards. The sum of these two sides is 4.26 + 7.25 = 11.51 yards.

Since the sum of the lengths of the first two sides (11.51 yards) is greater than the length of the third side (11.5 yards), we can conclude that the given measurements can indeed form a triangle.
