the picture in the attached figure


we know that

perimeter of a triangle=(2t)+(2t+2)+(2t+4)

perimeter of a triangle=36 units

so

36=(2t)+(2t+2)+(2t+4)

6t+6=36

6t=36-6

6t=30

t=5


therefore

the length of each side is

2t=2*5-------> 10 units

2t+2=2*5+2-----> 12 units

2t+4=2*5+4-----> 14 units


the answer is the option D

12 units, 14 units, 10 units
