The expression that models the length of the second leg of the triangle is <u>2x - 3.</u>

<u><em>Recall</em></u>:

The area of a triangle = \frac{1}{2} bh

<em><u>Given</u></em>:

Area of triangle = \frac{1}{2} (6x^2 - 7x - 3)

Length of one of the legs = 3x + 1

Therefore, it means that multiplying both legs should give us:

6x^2 - 7x - 3

To find the expression that models the other leg, divide 6x^2 - 7x - 3 by 3x + 1:

  • <em>Thus</em>:

\frac{6x^2 - 7x - 3}{3x - 1}

  • Factorize the numerator

\frac{6x^2 - 2x - 9x - 3}{3x - 1}\\\\\frac{2x(3x - 1) - 3(3x - 1)}{3x - 1}\\\\\frac{(2x- 3)(3x - 1)}{3x - 1}

  • Simplify

\frac{(2x- 3)(3x - 1)}{3x - 1} = 2x- 3

Therefore, the expression that models the length of the second leg of the triangle is <u>2x - 3.</u>
