The area of the right triangle shown is 24 square feet.

Which equations can be used to find the lengths of the legs of the triangle? Select three options.

0.5(x)(x + 2) = 24
x(x + 2) = 24
x2 + 2x – 24 = 0
x2 + 2x – 48 = 0
x2 + (x + 2)2 = 100

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation: Hello! You know the area of a right triangle shown is 24 square feet. The formula for area of a triangle is A = 1/2(b)(h).

24 can be substituted for A.

24 = 1/2(b)(h).

From here, I will need to see the triangle shown. If you post an image of the triangle with this, I might be able to come back and help you.

Good luck!
