Answer:

No

Explanation:

The sum of any two sides in a triangle have to be greater than the length of the third side.

  • 2 + 8 > 9. 10 > 9 (true)
  • 2 + 9 > 8. 11 > 8. (true)
  • 8 + 9 > 2. 17 > 2. (false)

Therefore, the answer is no.

Have a lovely rest of your day/night, and good luck with your assignments! ♡
