Detailed Solution

We have been given,
The measure of each side of the right triangle is an even integer unit.
We know its perimeter and area are numerically equal.
Let’s start from even integers i.e.,

2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14

etc. As we know,
Out of them, only

(6, 8, 10)

make Pythagorean triplet.

∵ 8^{2} + 6^{2} = 10^{2}

Also,

8 + 6 + 10 = 24 (Perimeter)

and,

\frac{1}{2} \times 8 \times 6 = 24 (Area)

Thus,
This group of even integers comply with all the given conditions.
Therefore, the perimeter is equal to

24

units.
Hence, option 2 is correct.
