Answer:

No

Explanation:

Not sure what is the question asking about but I think it's asking if we can construct a triangle with these three lengths.

By the triangle inequality theorem, it states that adding any two sides of the triangle must be greater than the third side, do a check:


4+9>5\\5+9>4\\4+5>9

The third equation is false, thus, we cannot construct a triangle with these three lengths.
