19

Answer 1

the length of the given sides of the triangles are 10 units, 23 units and 19 units

Explanation:

Perimeter of the triangle is 52 units

(7x - 4) + 19 + (10x + 3) = 52

17x + 18 = 52

17x = 34

x = 2

7(2) - 4 | 10(2) + 3

14 - 4 | 20 + 3

10 and 23 units

thus, the dimensions are 10, 23 and 19 units
