The equations to calculate the legs are 0.5(x)(x + 2) = 24, x^2 + 2x - 48 = 0 and x^2 + (x + 2)^2 = 100
<h3>How to determine the legs of the triangle?</h3>The complete question is in the attached image
The given parameters are:
Area = 24
Legs = x and x + 2
The area of the triangle is calculated as:
Area = 0.5 * Base * Height
This gives
0.5 * x * (x + 2) = 24
So, we have:
0.5(x)(x + 2) = 24
Divide through by 0.5
(x)(x + 2) = 48
Expand
x^2 + 2x = 48
Subtract 48 from both side
x^2 + 2x - 48 = 0
Hence, the equations to calculate the legs are 0.5(x)(x + 2) = 24, x^2 + 2x - 48 = 0 and x^2 + (x + 2)^2 = 100

Let's say is "x", so, then "x" is the 100%, and we know that the 60% is 120, what the dickens is "x" anyway?
