The side measure that would NOT create a triangle is 13.
According to the Triangle Inequality Theorem, in a triangle, the sum of the lengths of any two sides must be greater than the length of the third side.
In this case, the other two sides of the triangle measure 11 and 3.
11 + 3 = 14, which is greater than 13.
So, 13 can NOT be the length of the third side of the triangle.
