The perimeter can be a any number between 32 and 60.

Explanation:

The third side of a triangle can not exceed the sum of the other two sides, nor can it be smaller than their difference.

Thus, for a triangle with two sides 14 and 16, the third side can lie anywhere between 2 and 30.

Hence the perimeter can be a any number between #14+16+2=32# and #14+16+30 = 60#
