    Since the height is X, the length is 3X.
    Also, since the slanted side is 2cm more than the height, the slanted side is X+2.
    So... The perimeter is 2(3X+X+2).

    44=2(3X+X+2)
    22=4X+2
    4X=20
    X=5

    The formula of the area is height x length.
    So, X(3X)=5(15)=75cm2
    :D
    Good Luck
