1. **Problem Statement:** Find the lengths of the other two sides of the triangular dog house given the sides are in the ratio 3:3:2 and the shortest side measures 1 meter. 2. **Formula and Rules:** If the sides of a triangle are in ratio $3:3:2$, and the shortest side corresponds to 2 parts, then each part length is calculated by dividing the shortest side length by 2. 3. **Calculations:** Let the common ratio unit be $x$. Then the sides are $3x$, $3x$, and $2x$. Given the shortest side $2x = 1$ meter. 4. **Solve for $x$:** $$2x = 1 \implies x = \frac{1}{2} = 0.5$$ 5. **Find the other two sides:** $$3x = 3 \times 0.5 = 1.5 \text{ meters}$$ 6. **Answer:** The other two sides are each 1.5 meters. **Final answer:** a. The other two sides are 1.5 meters each.
