Answer:

None, they are not similar.

(I put them least to greatest order because triangles cannot really like change only one sides' value, so it makes it visually easier to comprehend.

8:7:5

I can't see any possible way to relate these two ratios together.

The 5 cannot go into 36 anyhow, and like the 8 and 55. The 7 can be multiplied by 6 to get 42, but 5 and 8 cannot reach their own numbers.
