LONGEST SIDE=2X
\n" ); document.write( "SHORTEST SIDE=X
\n" ); document.write( "MIDDLE SIDE=X+5
\n" ); document.write( "2X+X+X+5=33
\n" ); document.write( "4X=33-5
\n" ); document.write( "4X=28
\n" ); document.write( "X=28/4
\n" ); document.write( "X=7 FOR THE SHORTEST SIDE.
\n" ); document.write( "7+5=12 FOR THE MIDDLE SIDE
\n" ); document.write( "2*7=14 FOR THE LONGEST SIDE.
\n" ); document.write( "PROOF:
\n" ); document.write( "7+12=14=33
\n" ); document.write( "33=33
\n" ); document.write( "
