The last one should work, the first 2 will definitely not:

No HDMI-to-VGA cables will work unless they include some "active electronics" to convert the (digital) HDMI signals to (analogue) VGA signals. Only the third one you link to appears to do that. Putting it another way - you need to search for a HDMI-to-VGA adapter. FWIW, the two types I've used are shown in my webpages linked to below:
