Concept : 1 Mark
Application : 1 Mark
Calculation : 1 Mark

Let one side be x and the other side will be (x- 2)

Then, Area of a triangle = (12)×base×height
i.e., 60 m2=[(12)×(x2)×x]
Therefore by solving this eqn x = 10 and -12

Now by neglecting x = -12 and taking x = 10

Base and height = 10 cm and 8 cm
