    The length of each side 21 feet, 15 feet and 16 feet.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Consider the provided information.

    It is given the perimeter of a triangle is 52 feet.

    Let the second side is x.

    One side of the triangle is 6 feet longer than the second side.

    One side = x+6

    The third side is 1 foot longer than the second side.

    Third side = x+1

    The perimeter of the triangle is the sum of all sides.

    One side + Second side + Third side = 52

    x+6+x+x+1 = 52

    3x+7 = 52

    3x = 45

    x = 15

    Thus, the length of the second side is 15 feet.

    The length of one side x+6 = 21 feet.

    The length of third side x+1 = 16 feet.

    Hence, the length of each side 21 feet, 15 feet and 16 feet.

    Answer: Side 1 = 21 ft Side 2=15 Side 3 = 16

    Step-by-step explanation: Since the perimeter of a triangle is all of the sides added up. If you add 21+15+16 you would get 52 which is the perimeter of your triangle.
