Answer:

The length of the sides are 21, 28 and 35

Step-by-step explanation:

2m + 14 = [tex]\sqrt{(5m)^{2} - (3m)^{2} }[/tex]

2m + 14 = [tex]\sqrt{25m^{2} - 9m^{2} }[/tex]

2m + 14 = [tex]\sqrt{16m^{2} }[/tex]

2m + 14 = 4m

Collecting like terms

14 = 4m - 2m

14 = 2m

[tex]\frac{14}{2} = \frac{2m}{2}[/tex]

m = 7

The length of sides of the triangles are:

3m = 3(7)

     = 21

5m = 5(7)

     = 35

2m + 14 = 2(7) + 14

             = 14 + 14

             = 28

∴The length of sides of the triangle are 21, 28 and 35

Hope this helps
