    Step-by-step explanation:

    Perimeter = 84 feet

    Side One = Side Two + 12 feet

    Side Two + 17 = Side Three

    Side Two + Side Two = Side Four

    Perimeter = (Side Two + 12) + (Side Two) + (Side Two + 17) + (Side Two + Side Two) = 5 x (Side Two) + 29 = 84

    5x + 29 = 84

    5x = 55

    x = 11

    Side Two = 11 feet

    Side One = 11 + 12 = 23 feet

    Side Three = 11 + 17 = 28 feet

    Side Four = 11 X 2 = 22 feet
