Question 986343: I have a wooden 'tree' which consists of a triangle of 1" wood. The sides are divided by nails into 2" increments for a total side length of 64", top nail to bottom nail, one side. Both sides are the same. The measurement at the bottom nails across the 'tree' (right side to left side) is 29". Is it possible with this information to calculate how long a string of lights it would take to wrap the 'tree' from top nail to bottom? If yes, what equation would I use?

Question 986511: Find the dimensions of a right triangle if the area is 48 and one leg is 4 less than twice the other leg.
my attempt goes this way:
A=1/2 bh
48=1/2 (2x-4) (x)
48=1/2 (2x^2-4x)
48=x^2-2x
0=x^2-2x-48
then i used quadratic formula but i'll only use plus sign here because i don't know how to type in the plus and minus sign.
----it seems i can't type the equation properly here--but i only substituted the formula from the equation i got in the area part.
here is my theory or the answer i got.
x=8
2x-4=12
i can't seem to get the hypotenuse using these two answers because i get a decimal answer.
c^2=a^2+b^2 , using the Pythagorean theorem, i got an answer with a decimal, which in my opinion is wrong.
