TRUE
<h2>
Step-by-step explanation:</h2>
In order for a segment to form a triangle.
The sum of the lengths of any two sides of a triangle must be greater than the length of the remaining third side of the given triangle.
Here we have three segments of length:
7 units, 9 units and 12 units.
Also, for any two pair:
7 and 9 we have:
7+9=16> 12
for 9 and 12 we have:
9+12=21>7
and for 7 and 12 we have:
7+12=19>9
Hence, the segments could form a triangle.
