Since it is a right angle triangle,
By Pythagoras theorem,
(5x - 3)^2 = (2x + 7)^2 + (x + 4)^2
=> 25x^2 - 2.5x.3 + 9 = 4x^2 + 2.2x.7 + 49 + x^2 + 2.x.4 + 16
=> 25x^2 - 30x + 9 = 5x^2 + 28x + 8x + 65
=> 25x^2 - 5x^2 + 9 -65 = 36x + 30x
=> 20x^2 - 56 = 66x
=> 20x^2 - 66x - 56 = 0
Dividing both sides by 2,
=> 10x^2 - 33x - 28 = 0
=> 10x^2 - 40x + 7x - 28 = 0
=> 10x( x - 4) + 7( x - 4) = 0
=> (10x + 7) (x - 4) = 0
Case 1 :
(10x + 7) = 0
=> 10x = -7
=> x = -7/10
Not applicable
Case 2:
(x - 4) = 0
=> x = 4
.•. x = 4
2x + 7 = 8 + 7 = 15 units
x + 4 = 8 units
5x - 3 = 20 - 3 = 17 units
Area of the triangle
= (1/2)*(2x + 7)*(x + 4)
= (1/2)*15*8
= 15*4
= 60 sq. units
Hope it helps you...
