Longer leg = x + 4
Shorter leg = x
Hypotenuse = x + 8
Using Pythagorean Theorem:
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
(x + 4)^2 + x^2 = (x + 8)^2
x^2 + 8x + 16 + x^2 = x^2 + 16x + 64
2x^2 + 8x + 16 = x^2 + 16x + 64
2x^2 +8x = x^2 + 16x + 48
2x^2 - 8x = x^2 + 48
x^2 - 8x = 48
x^2 - 8x - 48 = 0
You can complete the square from here or use the quadratic formula.
Completing the square:
x^2 - 8x = 48
x^2 - 8x + (-8/2)^2 = 48 + (-8/2)^2
x^2 - 8x + 16 = 48 + 16
(x - 4)(x - 4) = 64 or (x - 4)^2 = 64
x - 4 = +√64 OR x - 4 = -√64
x - 4 = +8 OR x - 4 = -8
x = 12 OR x = -4
However, you can't use negative 4 as a length because your length needs to be a positive.
So x will be 12.
Shorter leg: 12
Longer leg: 12 + 4
Hypotenuse: 12 + 8
The way you have it is correct because root 2 is roughly 1.4 pi approximately is 3.4 and 4.5 is a rational number

Answer:
<h3>
A = 0.5(2x+6)(6x+13) = 6x² + 49x + 78</h3>
Step-by-step explanation:
H = 2x+6 - the hight
3H = 3(2x+6) - triple the hight
3H-5 = 3(2x+6) - 5 - five less than triple the height
Area of triangle: A = 0.5BH
B = 3(2x+6)-5 = 6x + 18 - 5 = 6x + 13
H = 2x+6
So:
A = 0.5(2x+6)(6x+13) = (x+6)(6x+13) = 6x² + 13x + 36x + 78
A = 6x² + 49x + 78
