Hi,

One side of triangle is one-fourth the longest side. 

The third side is 10  feet less than the longest side. 

The perimeter is 116 . Find all three sides.

  x + x/4 + (x-10) = 116

       (9/4)x = 126

            x = 126(4/9)

            x = 56

 Three sides are 56', 14' and 46' 

And...

  56' + 14' + 46' = 116
