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

In spherical geometry, all points are points on the surface of a sphere. A line is a circle on the sphere whose diameter is equa

Answer: It is not possible that two triangles that are similar and not congruent in spherical geometry.

Step-by-step explanation:

For instance, taking a circle on the sphere whose diameter is equal to the diameter of the sphere and inside is an equilateral triangle, because the sphere is perfect, if we draw a circle (longitudinal or latitudinal lines) to form a circle encompassing an equally shaped triangle at different points of the sphere will definately yield equal size.

in other words, triangles formed in a sphere must be congruent and also similar meaning having the same shape and must definately have the same size.

Therefore, it is not possible for two triangles in a sphere that are similar but not congruent.

Two triangles in sphere that are similar must be congruent.
