Final answer:

In triangle EGB, the length of AG can be any positive value greater than 0 because the sum of the lengths of any two sides in a triangle is always greater than the length of the third side.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that EB = 9 in triangle EGB, we need to find the length of AG.

In a triangle, the sum of the lengths of any two sides is always greater than the length of the third side.

So, EB + AG > EG and EB + AG > GB.

Since EB = 9 and EG = GB in an equilateral triangle, we can substitute these values into the inequalities: 9 + AG > 9 and 9 + AG > 9.

Simplifying, we get AG > 0.

Therefore, the length of AG is any positive value greater than 0.
