3 numbers in that ratio can be expressed as x/3 , x/5 and x/6
sum of their squares = 644
(x/3)^2 + (x/5)^2 + (x/6)^2 = 644
x^2 / 9 + x^2 / 25 + x^2 / 36 = 644
100x^2 / 900 + 36x^2 / 900 + 25x^2 / 900 = 644
161x^2 / 900 = 644
161x^2 = 579600
x^2 = 3600
x = + or - 60
x/3 = + or - 20
x/5 = + or - 12
x/6 = + or - 10.
or
1/3:1/5:1/6 ---> Multiply by 30
10:6:5 <- these are the smallest possible whole numbers. You can see these are not correct.
Let's try the 2nd smallest possible numbers.
20:12:10
400+144+100 = 644
Correct numbers are 20, 12, 10.
