Question

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.


A) 0.5(x)(x + 2) = 24

B) x(x + 2) = 24

C) x^2 + 2x – 24 = 0

D) x^2 + 2x – 48 = 0

E) x^2 + (x + 2)^2 = 100


Please answer correctly. The question above clearly states "Select three options". In the past, I have found answers with only two options, which were also incorrect. I'll mark Brainliest if your answer is correct.

Answer 1

Answer:

1 and 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of a right triangle is given by

1/2 base×height.

From the given options i can conclude that base and height are

x and x+2.

so area Δ = 0.5x(x+2)

also, area is given = 24 ft^2
