You answer this type of question with a contour probability map.

I have done the map here:

 

https://www.geogebra.org/classic/epd8ewqe

 

x and y both have to be between 0 and 9 so the area for this is  3*3=9

Then for it to be a triangle, the sum of any 2 sides must be greater than the 3rd side

So I have graphed

x+y>2

x+2>y

y+2>x

 

The intersection of all those regions is the favourable outcomes.   Area  = 6

 

SO     the probability of a favourable outcome is  6/9  =  2/3
