sides are three consecutive even integers and their sum is 24
the integers are 6,8,10
it is a right angle triangle
so area =(1/2)*6*8 =24
answer is 24

Since the sides are 3 consecutive even integers, let them be x-2,x and x+2.
so the perimeter is sum of sides = 3x = 24, x = 6.
The sides are 6,8,10
