    6, 8 and 10

    12, 16 and 20

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Area of smallest triangle

    = ½ (3) (4) = 6

    100/6 = 16.666

    16 as the multiple

    Sum of Sides: ratio of 4

    Two triangles with sides:

    6, 8 and 10 area = 24

    9, 12 and 15 area = 54

    12, 16, 20 area = 96

    Closest sum: 24+96 = 120
