Can you construct a triangle that has side lengths 2 yd, 9 yd, and 10 yd?

Yes


The rule to check if a triplet of numbers can represent the sides of a triangle is the following: the sum of the length of two sides must exceed the third one.


This happens for all possible couples in your case:



2+9=11>10



2+10=12>9



9+10=19>2
