Answer:

The measure of the shortest side is 851 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x ----> the measure of the shortest side

y ---> the measure of the middle side

z ---> the measure of the longest side

we know that

The perimeter of triangle is equal to

P=x+y+z

P=3,067\ mi

so

3,067=x+y+z ----> equation A

the shortest side measures 71 mi less than the middle side

so

x=y-71 ----> equation B

the longest side measures 372 mi more the the middle side

so

z=y+372 ----> equation C

substitute equation B and equation C in equation A

3,067=(y-71)+y+(y+372)

solve for y

3,067=3y+301\\3y=2,766\\y=922

Find the value of x

x=y-71\\x=922-71\\x=851

therefore

The measure of the shortest side is 851 miles

There will be three pairs of matching sides: one pair 5x7, one pair 5x12 and one pair 12x7. We can compute the are of each side (in pairs) and then add up the total:

A_{surf}=2\times(l \times w)+2\times(l \times h)+2\times(h \times w)
A_{surf}=2\times(5\times7)+2\times(5\times12)+2\times(12\times7)
A_{surf}=2\times35+2\times60+2\times84
A_{surf}=70+120+168
A_{surf}=358
A_{surf}=358m^{2}
