False, I believe. Not so sure if you can make a triangle out of three sides that are not the same size

Answer:

The answer to the statement is:

TRUE

Explanation:

In order for a segment to form a triangle.

The sum of the lengths of any two sides of a triangle must be greater than the length of the remaining third side of the given triangle.

Here we have three segments of length:

7 units, 9 units and 12 units.

Also, for any two pair:

7 and 9 we have:

7+9=16> 12

for 9 and 12 we have:

9+12=21>7

and for 7 and 12 we have:

7+12=19>9

Hence, the segments could form a triangle.
