That's literally how I solved the problem. Start by turning the 120 area triangle into a 240 area rectangle and the problem is solved.
1. Convert the 120 area triangle into a 240 area rectangle. 2. Calculate the combined area of the BOTH rectangles. 768 + 240 = 1008. 3. Divide 1008 by the top line (42) to give us the length of the right line as 24. 4. Divide the area of the left rectangle (240) by 24 to get 10 (the base of the left triangle) 5. Subtract the base of the left triangle from 42 to get 32 (the bottom line) 6. Calculate the length of the hypotenuse as 24 squared plus 10 squared to get 676. The square root comes to 26. Answer: 24, 32, 26.

I did it this way.
42 / (2 * 120 + 768) * 240 = 10 (width of orange triangle) 240 / 10 = 24 (height of both figures) √(10² + 24²) = √(100 + 576) = √676 = 26 (hypotenuse of orange triangle) 42 - 10 = 32 (width of green rectangle)

If you wanted to avoid the system of equations, you can also divide the parallelogram into two triangles, each with area 384, and since that new triangle shares a height with the 120 one, it follows its own base would be 384/120=3.2 times larger. So 3.2x+x=42=> x=10 =>y (the height) is 24, x2 is 42-x=32, hypotenuse (pyth theorem) is 26.

I did it the same way
A different approach would be to complete the rectangle. Spoiler alert: 768 + 2 ∙ 120 = 1008; 1008 / 42 = 24 = h; 768 / 24 = 32 = a; 42 − 32 = 10 = x; 10² + 24² = c², but this is just a scaled 5-12-13 triangle, so c = 26.

I am so happy. I got one right without having to cheat or fix something that I stuffed up. Yay, cartwheels and stuff!
Perfect Video thanks so much
At a quick glance: Forming a rectangle by doubling the triangular area. The height of the trapezoid is (768+ 120*2)/ 42 =24. The base pf the trapezoid is 768/24 = 32. Base of the triangle is 42 - 32 = 10 and unknown side length = sqrt( 100 + 576) = 26. The unknown lengths of the trapezoid = 26 , 32 and 24.
I did it using trapezoid formula as the total area is known (888) as is the longest side 42. Then as side and small base are both height and base of trapezoid and side and base of rectangle I just substituted them. Their product also known 768. In my case I ended up with 21h = 888-768/2 = 504 h=504/21=24

I went a slightly different route but got there in the end. Your way was better :)
From formula for area of triangle xy = 240 From formula for area of rectangle (42-x)y=768 42y -xy = 768 42y - 240 = 768 42y = 768+240 42y = 1008 y = 24 x = 10 From Pythagorean identity z^2=24^2+10^2 z^2=676 z=26 Missing side lengths (24,32,26) Quite easy

Nice! (42 - b)a = 768 ab/2 = 120 → a = 240/b → (42 - b)a = (42 - b)(240/b) = 768 → 240(42)/b = 1008 → b = 240(42)/24(42) = 10 → 42 - b = 32 → a = 24 → tan(φ) = sin(φ)/cos(φ) = 5/12 → sin(φ) = (5/12)cos(φ) sin^2(φ) + cos^2(φ) = 1 → sin(φ) = √(1 - cos^2(φ)) → (5/12)cos(φ) = √(1 - cos^2(φ)) → 1 - cos^2(φ) = (25/144)cos^2(φ) → 1 = (169/144)cos^2(φ) → cos(φ) = (12/13) = (24/k) → k = 13(24/12) = 26 = c 🙂 fast lane: 10-24 → c = 26 (Pyth. Triple 2(5-12-13)) 🙂

Nice example, I just added another triangle to the end to make a rectangle Which added 120 area more, then just did the arithmetic
Answers 24, 26, and 32 let the base of the triangle = b, and let the height = n, then (b)(n) =240 but n is also the width of the rectangle and 42-b the length; hence the area of the rectangle is : (42-b)(n) = 768 42n-bn =768 42n- 240= 768 since bn=240 42n=1,008 n = 24; hence b =10 So, the width of rectangle=n= the height of triangle =24 answer The base of the triangle, b= 10 The length of the rectangle is 42-10= 32 answer The hypotenuse of the triangle is the square root of 24^2 + 10^2 = sqrt 676 =24

Let a be the height of the trapezoid/width of the rectangual portion. Let b be the length of the shorter parallel side, and c be the additional length of the longer parallel side, so c = 42 - b. Them a b = 768 and a c = 240, so b / c = 16 / 5, so b + c = 21/16 b, so 21/16 b = 42, so b = 32, c = 10 and a = 24.
a and b length and width of the rectangle, c hypothenuse of the triangle ( a, b, and c are the sizes of the sides of the trapezoid other than 42) ab=768 (b(42-a)/2)=120 42b-768=240 42b=1008 b=24 a=32 c=sqrt((42-a)^2+b^2)=sqrt((42-32)^2+24^2)=sqrt(10^2+24^2)=sqrt(100+576)=sqrt(676)=26 Answers: 24 (vertical), 32 (smaller horizontal), 26 (oblique)

You can do it other way Join diagonal of the rectangle such that you get a large triangle with base 42 and breadth as height Equate to area you will get breadth and so you will get length and the third side can be found by using Pythagoras theorem
The yellow right triangle is a Pythagorean triplet of 5, 12, & 13- this one multiplied by 2. The 5, 12, & 13 triplets is just about as common as the 3, 4, & 5 one, as I’m sure you know. I think it would be good for you to point out these triplets so your viewers can learn about them.
xy=768 (42-x)y/2=120 y=768/x y=240/(42-x) 768/x=240/(42-x) 768(42-x)=240x 32256-768x=240x 32256=1008x x=32 y=24 √[24²+(42-32)²]=√[576+100]=√676=26 (24 , 32 , 26)

Assume bottom = Y , height =X X*Y=768 X*(42-Y)/2=120 so X =24 Y=32
As a triangle, the yellow area is equal to its base times height, all divided by two. As a rectangle, the green area is equal to its width times its height. Thus the triangle has half the area of a rectangle of the same dimensions. So since we know the combined width of both areas and that they share the same height, if we assume the triangle is a rectangle and double its area, we can determine their individual widths from the ratios of their areas. Let b be the base (width) of the yellow section, h be the length of the right side of the trapezoid, w be the length of the bottom side/entire green area, and x be the length of the diagonal left side. b/42 = 240/(240+768) = 240/1008 b = 42(5/21) = 10 w = 42 - b = 42 - 10 = 32 units Aᵣ = wh 768 = 32h h = 768/32 = 24 units a² + b² = c² 10² + 24² = x² x² = 100 + 576 = 676 x = √676 = 26 units
I solve addimg other triangle with area equals to 120, turning the figure into a rectangle.
