I already know the answer to this question is a). I just want to know WHY it is a). How do you figure out this question? Answer by mananth(16946) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! 6x^2-24x+24
6e2=6x^2-24x+24
/6
e^2=x^2-4x+4
e^2= (x-2)^2
taking positive roots
e=(x-2)
which is the side
