Answer:

The statement is true

The segments could form a triangle

Explanation:

we know that

The Triangle Inequality Theorem states that the sum of any 2 sides of a triangle must be greater than the measure of the third side

In this problem

Applying the Triangle Inequality Theorem

1) 9+9 > 1 ----> is ok

2) 1+9 > 9 --> is ok

therefore

The statement is true

The segments could form a triangle
