SOLUTION

Using the triangle inequality

The sum of the lenght of any two sides of a triangle is greater than the length of the third sides.

hence

Given the sides


4\operatorname{cm},3\operatorname{cm}\text{.amd 11 cm}

Since


\begin{gathered} 3+4>11 \\ \text{Which contradict the triangle inequality theorem} \end{gathered}

hence


\text{The figures those not form a triangle }

Hence

The figures form no triangle
