Question

Find the value of x so that the shaded region is a gnomon to the white rectangle.

Answer 1

Based on the shaded region, the value of x which makes this region a gnomon is x = 1.

What is value of x?

Based on the dimensions of the side that isn't shaded, and the dimensions of the side that is shaded, the value of x can be found as:

3/ 6 = (1 + 3) / (x + 6 + x)

1/2 =  4 / (6 + 2x)

6 + 2x = 4 / (1/2)

2x = 8 - 6

x = 2/2

x = 1
