Being a designer herself, she visualizes a triangular area with different lengths for each side. For this Jenny decides to keep a side of the triangular area 3 feet shorter and the other 2 feet longer than the third side. She also wants to restrict the perimeter of the triangular area to 32 feet, so that it does not cover a huge area of the garden. Determine the maximum length of each side of the triangular area that Jenny has visualized. </SPAN>\n" );
