Question

The area of the right triangle shown is 24 square feet.

Which equations can be used to find the lengths of the legs of the triangle? Select three options.

0.5(x)(x + 2) = 24
x(x + 2) = 24
x2 + 2x – 24 = 0
x2 + 2x – 48 = 0
x2 + (x + 2)2 = 100

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation: Hello! You know the area of a right triangle shown is 24 square feet. The formula for area of a triangle is A = 1/2(b)(h).

24 can be substituted for A.

24 = 1/2(b)(h).

From here, I will need to see the triangle shown. If you post an image of the triangle with this, I might be able to come back and help you.

Good luck!
