Answer:

No.

Step-by-step explanation:

The triangle inequality theorem states that the sum of two sides of a triangle must be greater than the third side.

5 + 8 = 13.

13, which is the sum of two sides, is not larger than 16, the third side.

Therefore, a triangle cannot have these side lengths.
