The ratio of those two sides is going to be 32/28 = 8/7. 

Since the two figures are "similar," all the sides and angles are going to be proportional to each other, so the ratio of the perimeter (meaning each side) is going to be 8/7 and the ratio of the areas, since the formula for a right triangle is linear, is also going to be 8/7.

do i have to set a proportion or something in order to solve the problem?

A few days late, but your "proportion" is going to be 8/7.
