Check out this website: Triangle Inequality The formula listed at the very bottom is about as general as it gets.

The generalized triangle inequality is a mathematical concept that states that the sum of any two sides of a geometric figure must be greater than or equal to the length of the third side. This principle applies to all types of triangles, including equilateral, isosceles, and scalene triangles. In other words, the shortest distance between any two points in a geometric figure is always a straight line, and the sum of the lengths of any two sides must be greater than the length of the remaining side. This principle is a fundamental property of triangles and is essential in various mathematical and geometric applications.
