    P = a + b + c

    a = longest side

    b = middle

    c = shortest

    p = 3077

    c = b - 71

    a = b + 376

    (b + 376) + b + (b - 71) = 3077

    3b + 305 = 3077

    3b = 3077 - 305

    3b = 2772

    b = 2772/3

    b = 924 < = = middle side is 924 miles

    c = b - 71

    c = 924 - 71

    c = 853 < = = shortest side is 853 miles

    a = b + 376

    a = 924 + 376

    a = 1300 ... < = = longest side is 1300 miles
