-----
Equation::
44x + 77x + 99x = 8080
-------
121x + 99x = 8080
220x = 8080
x = 36.73
-----
44x = 1616
77x = 2828
99x = 3636

44:77:99 add to 220
8080/220=36 8/11
36 8/11 times each side will be the answer.
44*36+32 (the 32 comes from [8/11}*4=1616 cm
77*36+56=2828 cm
99*36+72=3636 cm
The sides (in cm) are 1676:2828:3636
