Answer:

Yes, the given segments will form a triangle

Explanation:

Condition: If sum of the measures of any two segments of a triangle is greater than the third segment, then they will form a triangle.

  • Lengths of the given segments are 18, 12 and 10 units.
  • 18 + 12 = 30 > 10
  • 12 + 10 = 22 > 18
  • 10 + 18 = 28 > 12

Here, lengths of the given segments obey the above mentioned condition. So, they will form a triangle.
