Answer:

12cm and 17cm

Step-by-step explanation:

"the length of one side is 11cm more than half the length of another"

WHICH MEANS

x and 11 + x/2

solving

2(x) + 2(11 + x/2) = 58

2x + 22 + x = 58

3x = 58 - 22

3x = 36

x = 12

now substitute x = 12

x and 11 + x/2

12 and 11 + 12/2

12 and 11 + 6

12 and 17

12cm and 17cm
