Solve for X...
2/3x + 2/3x + 3/3x = 7/3x. 

7/3x = 161.
x = 69.
Longest side is 69.

Solve for the shortest side.
One short side is 2/3 of that.
That gives you 46.

Your triangle has the longest side of 69 units, and the two shorter sides of 46.

let three side be x, y, z
now smaller sides i.e x, y
 x=y= 2/3z
perimeter of triangle=x+y+z=161
2/3z+2/3z+z=161
7/3z=161
z=69

from z we can  calculate x & y i.e
 46
three sides are 46, 46,& 69 miles
