Answer:

  7 ft, 25 ft, 19 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of side lengths is equal to the perimeter.

  n +(3n +4) +(3n -2) = 51

  7n +2 = 51 . . . . . . . collect terms

  7n = 49 . . . . . . . subtract 2

  n = 7 . . . . . . divide by 7

  3n +4 = 25

  3n -2 = 19

The side lengths are 7, 25, 19 feet.
