x = 1st side, y = 2nd side, z = 3rd side

P = x + y + z
P = 93
x = 2y
z = x + 3.....z = 2y + 3

93 = 2y + y + 2y + 3
93 = 5y + 3
93 - 3 = 5y
90 = 5y
90/5 = y
18 = y <=== length of 2nd side is 18 ft

x = 2y
x = 2(18)
x = 36 <== length of 1st side is 36 ft

z = x + 3
z = 36 + 3
z = 39 <== length of 3rd side is 39 ft
