Answer 1

Answer: 16 one side 32 second side 48 third side

Explanation:

3;4;5

Answer 2

24, 32, 40

Explanation:

We know that the ratio of the sides is 3:4:5, and that total is 96.

First I tested out some numbers by multiplying them by 3, 4, and 5

Eventually I got to 8;

8×3:8×4:8×5 --> 24:32:40 --> 3:4:5

24+32+40=96

Meaning, the sides were 24, 32, and 40

Hope this helps, and good luck!
