The sides of a right triangle are in the ratio 3:4:5
Since the sides are even numbers we can take the sides to be 6,8,10
Perimeter = 6+8+10 = 24
Area = (1/2)*6*8 = 24
Therefore the required perimeter is 24

Area=1/2 bh
p=b+h+c
p=6+8+10=24
area=1/2*6*8=24
none of the above

The sides are 5, 12 and 13.
Area = 5*12/2 = 30
P = 5+12+13 = 30
