The area of the rectangle is the product of length and width. The value of the variable x is 3.6 cm
What is the area of the rectangle?
Let L be the length and W be the width of the rectangle.
Then the area of the rectangle will be
Area of the rectangle = L × W square units
The diagram is given below.
Let A₁ be the area of the small rectangle and A be the area of the large rectangle.
A₁ = 1/4 A
4A₁ = A
4 × 2× (12 - x) = 12 × (x + 2)
8(12 - x ) = 12x + 24
96 - 8x = 12x + 24
72 = 20x
x = 3.6
Then the value of the variable x is 3.6 cm
