Area =72 sq. cm

length = x+6

Width = x

l×b = Area
(x+6)x =72
x2 +6x=72
x2+6x-72=0
x2+12x-6x-72=0
x (x+12) -6 (x+12)=0
(x+12) ( x-6) =0
x=-12, x=6

since width can't be negative , the answer is x=6.

therefore, the width is 6cm

Where i put the black lines is where the points should be because there are 5 lines and the 6th one makes a whole number you would multiply 2/3 but 2 and it’ll become 4/6 and that’s why i got it on -1 4/6 and then 5/6 well i have it on there
