    Sum of all sides of triangle = perimeter of it

    x+4+x+2x-y=24

    4x-y=20

    y=4x-20

    H^2=p^2+b^2

    (x+4) ^2=x^2 + (-2x+20) ^2

    From here you can calculate value of x and y

    x^2+16+8x=5x^2-80x+400

    4x^2-88x+384

    =x^2-22x+96

    you use quadratic formula to calculate x and y

    Remember greatest value should be x and smallest should be y as the conditions given above
