@matricked:  Thank you for your contributions.  However, keep in mind that our objective is to help Tkhan find his own answers.  My question was for $tkhan, not for you, because of this.

Tkahn:  Please think about how you could obtain the lengths of the three sides of this triangle.  Note that because the perimeter is 63 feet, the SUM of these three lengths is also 63 inches.
