Answer:

He cannot construct a triangle

Explanation:

In order to construct a triangle the two shorter sides added together have to be greater than the longest side if that makes sense

So basically 8+14 has to be greater than 23 in order for it to be side lengths of a triangle

8+14=22

22 is not greater than 23 therefore he cannot create a triangle
