Answer:

Therefore a triangle can be formed with side lengths of 4 m, 8 m, 9 m

Explanation:

A triangle is a polygon with three sides and three angles. There are different types of triangles such as scalene, isosceles, equilateral and so on.

The triangle inequality property states that the sum of any two sides of a triangle must be greater than the third side. If a, b and c are the sides of a triangle then:

a + b > c; a + c > b; b + c > a

Given a triangle with side length 4 m, 8 m, 9 m:

4m + 8m = 12m > 9m

4m + 9m = 13m > 8m

8m + 9m = 17m > 4m

Therefore a triangle can be formed with side lengths of 4 m, 8 m, 9 m.
