Answer:

First: 12 feet

Second: 11 feet

Third: 14 feet

Explanation:

Let the second side of the traingle be x

First side of the triangle= x+1

Third side of the triangle= x+3

x+x+1+x+3 = 37

3x+4 = 37

3x = 37-4

3x = 33

x = 11

First side of the triangle= (11)+1

= 12

Second side of the triangle= 11

Third side of the triangle= (11)+3

= 14
