Longest side + second side + shortest side = 50
Longest side = 2(shortest side)
Second side = (shortest side) + 2
Shortest side = shortest side
**
[2(shortest side)] + [(shortest side)+2] + (shortest side) = 50
4(shortest side) + 2 = 50
(shortest side) = 12
**
Shortest side = 12
Second side = 12+2=14
Longest side = 2*12=24
12+14+24=50, woo hoo this answer works
