Answer:

NO

Explanation:

Draw a triangle and label the sides a, b and c. Now we must know the rule you can use for drawing any triangle:

A+B> c

A+C>B

B+C>A

Sub you numbers into the rule:

8+10, is it greater that 19?

No, 8+10=18 and 18<19

This is proof that you can not draw a triangle with the side lengths of 8m, 10m and 19m.
