Answer:

{4, 17, 23} cannot represent the three sides of a triangle

Step-by-step explanation:

The set in which there is a number larger than the sum of the remaining two cannot represent the three sides of a triangle.

{4, 17, 23} cannot represent the three sides of a triangle

Since

23 > 17 + 4
