    We're gonna call x the length of the shortest side. The medium side is 3 longer than the shorter side, and the longest side is 14 longer than the shortest (11 + 3 = 14):

    Perimeter = shortest side + medium side + longest side

    59 = (x) + (x + 3) + (x + 14)

    59 = 3x + 17

    3x = 42

    x = 14

    Shortest side = 14

    Medium side = 17

    Longest side = 28
