My interior voice tells me that the number  168  in your post for the area of the triangle is  INCORRECT

and should be replaced by the number of  84,  which is exactly  HALF  of the " 168".

Then the problem will admit a nice solution in integer numbers.


Otherwise,  the solution is in very ugly irrational numbers . . .


Double check your post,  comparing it with the source.

By the way,  when you write  " it's dimensions "  in the post,  it tells me

that your skills in  Math are of the same level as they are in  English . . .

By the way,  web-page https://brainly.ph/question/22028730 contains the same problem,

expressed/written by the same words,  symbol-in-symbol,  with the same  " it's dimensions "

and with incorrect solution . . .
