For this Jenny decides to keep a side of the triangular area 5 feet shorter than the third side and the other side 4 feet longer than the third side. She also wants to restrict the perimeter of the triangular area to a maximum of 29 feet, so that it does not cover a huge area of the garden. Determine the length of each side of the triangular area that Jenny has visualized. \n" ); document.write( "
