    The perimeter is the sum of the sides.

    n + (3n - 4) + (3n - 5) = 33

    7n - 9 = 33

    7n = 42

    n = 6

    3n-4=18-4=14

    3n-5=13

    Check: 6+14+13=33, good

    Answer: 6 cm, 14 cm, 13 cm

    6, 14, 13

    Step-by-step explanation:

    n + 3n - 4 + 3n - 5 = 33

    7n - 9 = 33

    7n = 33 + 9

    7n = 42

    n = 6

    So, 3n - 4 = 14, 3n - 5 = 13
