Answer: 14, 17, 30

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to form a triangle, the sum of two sides must be GREATER than the third side for all combinations:

a + b > c    &    a + c > b     &       b + c > a

21 + 23 = 44 which is NOT greater than 44

2 + 3 = 5 which is NOT greater than 7

12 + 36 = 48 which is NOT greater than 53

14 + 17 > 30     &    14 + 30 > 17       &     17 + 30 > 14

so these side length form a triangle
