\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The ratio \"5%3A12%3A13\" would add up to a perimeter of \"30\", \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "and your perimeter is \"15\"; so, each side will be in the same ratio of \"1%3A2=1%2F2\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "then the sides length will be:
\n" ); document.write( "\"5%2A%28+1%2F2%29+=+2.5in\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"12+%2A+%281%2F2%29+=+6in\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"13+%2A+%281%2F2%29+=+6.5in\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "check the perimeter:
\n" ); document.write( "\"2.5in+%2B+6in+%2B+6.5in+=+15in\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"15in+=+15in\"
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
