Question

Ted has the following triangle dimensions.

Answer 1

Answer=D

The sum of the two smaller sides of a triangle must be greater than the longer side length

a+b>c
plug in our data
8+14>23
22>23 is not a valid statement

So no triangles can be made from the dimensions 

Answer 2

Answer:  D) He cannot construct a triangle

Step-by-step explanation:

For a triangle to be possible the largest side must be less than the sum of other two sides .

In the given question largest side is 23 while other two sides are 8 and 14

Therefore for triangle to be possible 23 should be less than (8+14) but 23 > (8+14) .

Thus he can not construct a triangle using the given sides.

Hence correct option is D)He cannot construct a triangle.
