Answer:

I think it would be a obtuse triangle.

Step-by-step explanation:

Considering the Triangle Inequality theorem, for sides to make a triangle to two smallest sides must have a greater sum then the longest. Now that we know its a triangle we must decided what type of triangle it is. You can rule out acute because of the 14. Now, I used the 3:4:5 right triangle rule, which states that a right triangle must a a ratio of 3:4:5. Again, I think the 14 causes the triangle to be obtuse.
