In the internet search it was not possible to find the exact question, however the calculation of the sides of the triangle is the fundamental part of the problem

Let
x-----------------> the first odd integer
x+2------------- > the second odd integer
x+4------------- > the third odd integer

we know that
perimeter P=201 inches
P=(x)+(x+2)+(x+4)=3x+6
then
201=3x+6-------------- > x=(201-6)/3=65
x=65 in

therefore
the three sides of triangle RIO are
x--------> 65 in
x+2------> 65+2=67 in
x+4------> 65+4=69 in

the answer is 65 in, 67 in and 69 in
