In a triangle, the sum of the lengths of any two sides must be greater than the length of the third side.
Given that two sides of the triangle measure 11 and 3, the third side must satisfy the Triangle Inequality Theorem.
Let x represent the length of the third side.
According to the Triangle Inequality Theorem:
11 + 3 > x
14 > x
Therefore, x must be less than 14.
Among the given options, the side measure that would NOT create a triangle is 13, as it is greater than 14 (13 > 14).
