Answer 2

16 + 64 + 64 are the 3 sides.

Explanation:

There are two sides that are 4 times the third side.

Let the 3rd side = x

4x + 4x + x = 144 inchines

9x = 144 inches

x = 144/9

x = 16 inches.

So the base (which is the smallest side) = 16 inches.

One of the two sides remaining is 4x = 4*16 = 64

The other side = 64

Check

64 + 64 + 16 = 144 as it should.
