Answer:

Yes

Explanation:

The Triangle Inequality Theorem says the sum of any two side lengths of a triangle has to be greater than the third side.

With the measures of 10, 11, and 2, this follows the theorem.

For example, 10 + 11 is 21, which is greater than 2.

11 + 2 is 13, which is greater than 10.

This works for all the combinations, so 10, 11, and 2 can be the side lengths.
