Rule: The side of a triangle is less than the sum of the other two sides. 
With such data, the triangle △𝑅𝑆𝑇 does not exist, since r>s+t (5.7>3.8+1.1)

Use the Triangle Inequality theorem here. The sum of two sides of a triangle can't be smaller than the third side. In the given problem you can see that some of s and t = 3.8 + 1.1 = 4.9km This third side r = 5.7 km The given sides won't form a Triangle. The third side must always be smaller than the sum remaining two sides of a triangle.
