How to find the length of the sides of a triangle given a ratio

The video tutorial explains how to solve a triangle problem with given side ratios and perimeter. It highlights common mistakes in interpreting ratios and demonstrates how to reduce and extend ratios using a classroom example. The tutorial then sets up the problem to find the exact side lengths of the triangle by solving an equation. Finally, it calculates and verifies the side lengths, emphasizing the importance of understanding reduced and extended ratios.

Describe the process of setting up the equation to find the lengths of the sides of the triangle.
