The lengths of the three sides of a triangle (in meters) are consecutive odd integers. If the perimeter is 93 meters, find the value of the middle of the three side lengths.

Step 1 ：The problem is asking for the lengths of the sides of a triangle which are consecutive odd integers and the perimeter is given as 93 meters. We need to find the middle side length.

Step 2 ：Since the sides are consecutive odd integers, we can represent them as \(x-2\), \(x\), and \(x+2\). The sum of these three sides is equal to the perimeter of the triangle, which is 93 meters.

Step 3 ：So, we can set up the equation as follows: \((x-2) + x + (x+2) = 93\).

Step 4 ：We can solve this equation to find the value of \(x\), which represents the middle side length.

Step 5 ：The solution to the equation is 31, which means the middle side length of the triangle is 31 meters.

Step 6 ：Final Answer: The middle side length of the triangle is \(\boxed{31}\) meters.
