Answer:

The three sides are 27 feet, 15 feet, 13 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Let second side of a triangle be = a

Let one side be 12 feet shorter than the second side = (a - 12)

Let the third side be 2 feet shorter than the second side= (a - 12) - 2 =(a - 14)

Perimeter of triangle = Sum of length of all 3 sides

55 = a + (a - 12) + (a - 14)

55 = a + a + a - 12 - 14

55 = 3a - 26

55 + 26 = 3a

81 = 3a

a = 27

Length of one side, a - 12 = 27 - 12 = 15 feet

Length of second side, a = 27 feet

Length of third side, a - 14 = 27 - 14 = 13 feet
