Answer:

A. True.

Explanation:

We have been given lengths of three segments. We are asked to determine whether the given segments could form a triangle or not.

Triangle inequality theorem states that sum of two sides of triangle must be greater than third side of the triangle.

Using triangle inequality theorem, we will get:


9+4>11


13>11 True


9+11>4


20>4 True


4+11>9


15>9 True

Since our given segments satisfies triangle inequality theorem, therefore, the given segments could form a triangle.
