The answer: 0, 4/5 and 5
Explanation: first, we factor out 2x and get: 2x(5x^2-29x+20)=0
In order for this equation to be equal to zero, either 2x must equal to zero or (5x^2-29x+20) must equal to zero
Having said that, if:
2x = 0
X=0
If:
(5x^2-29x+20) = 0
X=4/6, x=5
A=1 b=8 c=8
h = [-8 +-sq root(64 - 4*1*8)] / 2
h = [-8 +-sq root(32)] / 2
h1 = -4 +

Check the picture below. so, that'd be the triangle's sides hmmm so let's use Heron's Area formula for it.
