In triangles, the sum of two sides must be greater than the third.
IS 4+5 greater than 11?
IS 4+5 greater than 10?
IS 5+7 greater than 11
IS 2+7 greater than 10?

You answer the above and you will find your own answer, it will be the combination of numbers where the sum of the two shorter sides is greater than the length of the third.
