Answer:

C) 60 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

area of triangle = 1/2 × b × h = 120

let base be x and height be (x - 14)

120 =  \frac{1}{2}  \times x \times (x - 14) \\ 120 \times 2 =  {x}^{2}  - 14x \\ 240 =  {x}^{2}  - 14x \\  {x}^{2}  - 14x - 240 = 0 \\  {x}^{2}  - 24x + 10x - 240 = 0 \\ x(x - 24) +  10(x - 24) = 0 \\ (x - 24)(x + 10) = 0 \\ x  - 24 = 0 \:  \:  \:  \: x + 10 = 0 \\ x = 24 \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \: x =  - 10

we get one side as x = 24

other side = x - 14 = 24 - 14 = 10

using Pythagoras theorem

 {hyp}^{2}  =  {base}^{2}  +  {height}^{2}  \\   {hyp}^{2}  =  {24}^{2}  +  {10}^{2}  \\  = 576 + 100 \\  = 676 \\  {hyp}^{2}  = 676 \\ hyp =  \sqrt{676}  \\ hyp = 26

perimeter of triangle

= 24 + 10 + 26

= 60 cm

hope you get your answer
