Answer: No

Step-by-step explanation: if you mean the measure of a is 3, the measure of b is 9 and the measure of c is 5, c being the hypotenuse then the answer is no because the the sides of a and b must be less than the measure of c. If 5 wasn’t the hypotenuse then the answer would be different.

(KEEP IN MIND THAT IF 9 IS THE HYPOTENUSE THEN THE ANSWER IS YES)

Hope this helps! :)
