Answer:

x - 2 units

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the question, the data provided is as follows

The area of the triangle with x^2 - 4

And, the leg has 2x + 4

Based on the above information, the length of the triangle other leg is

Let us assume

y = other leg lengths

So, the area of a triangle = = \frac{1}{2} \times b\times h

Now

x^2 - 4 = \frac{1}{2} (2x+4)y

(x-2)(x+2) = \frac{1}{2} 2(x+2)y

So,

(x-2)(x+2) = (x+2)y

And, finally

x - 2 = y

Therefore the length of other leg is x - 2 units
