Answer:

  B. {16, 19, 20}

Step-by-step explanation:

The <em>triangle inequality</em> requires for any sides a, b, c you must have ...

  a + b > c

  b + c > a

  c + a > b

The net result of those requirements are ...

  • the sum of the two shortest sides must be greater than the longest side
  • the length of the third side lies between the difference and sum of the other two sides

__

If we look at the offered side length choices, we see ...

  A: 8+11 = 19 . . . not > 19; not a triangle

  B: 16+19 = 35 > 20; could be a triangle

  C: 3+4 = 7 . . . not > 8; not a triangle

  D: 5+5 = 10 . . . not > 11; not a triangle

The side lengths {16, 19, 20} could represent the sides of a triangle.

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

The version of triangle inequality shown above ensures that a triangle will have non-zero area.

The alternative version of the triangle inequality uses ≥ instead of >. Triangles where a+b=c will look like a line segment--they will have zero area. Many authors disallow this case. (If it were allowed, then {8, 11, 19} would also be a "triangle.")
