x +5 
x + 7

x + x + 5 + x + 7 = 21 
3 x = 21 - 12
3 x = 9
x = 3

The lengths of the sides of the triangle are 3, 8 and 10.

A triangle is a polygon that is made up of three sides. The sum of angles in a triangle is 180 degrees. The perimeter of a triangle is the sum of the three sides.

Let x represent the length of the third side of the triangle.

Length of the first side = x + 5

Length of the second side = x + 7

Perimeter = x + x + 5 + x + 7 = 21

In order to determine the length of the third side, solve for x in this equation: x + x + 5 + x + 7 = 21

3x + 12 = 21

3x = 21 - 12

3x = 9

x = 3

Length of the first side = x + 5 = 3 + 5 = 8

Length of the second side = x + 7 : 3 + 7 = 10
