Let's guess and check.

Let's try 8

2 × 8 = 16

3 × 8 = 24

4 × 8 = 32

16 + 24 + 32 = 72 ==> too high

Let's try 6,

2 × 6 = 12

3 × 6 = 18

4 × 6 = 24

12 + 18 + 24 = 54 ==> perfect

Wow, I did not think I'd get that on the 2nd try.

So the numbers are 12, 18, and 24.

Answer:

x = 24.52

Step-by-step explanation:

Since this is a right triangle, use Pythagorean Theorem to solve for the hypotenuse.

Pythagorean Theorem: a² + b² = c²

24² + 5² = x²

576 + 25 = x²

601 = x²

√601 = x
