In this attached picture, we can prove that triangles AOB and COD are congruent. ∠CDO and ∠ABO are equal because they are alternate angles. Similarly, ∠OAB and ∠OCD are equal because they are alternate angles, as well. We have a rectangle and in the rectangle, opposite sides are equal; AB = CD. Then, because of Angle-SIde-Angle principle, we can say that triangles AOB and COD are equal. If triangles are congruent, then OD = OB and OC = AO. Applying congruency to the triangles ACD and BCD, we can see that these triangles are also congruent. It means that the diagonals are equal. Since, OD = OB and OC = AO, it proves that the point O simultaneously is the midpoint and intersection point for the diagonals.

The length of a rectangle is 5 more than the side of a square, and the width of the rectangle is 5 less than the side of the squ
ANEK [815]

Answer:

20

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

Length = l

Width = w

Area of square = 45

Let side of square = x

Area of square = x²

45 = x²

√45 = x

l of rectangle = x + 5 = √45 + 5

w of rectangle = x -5 = √45 -5

Area of rectangle= l * w

Area = (√45 + 5) * (√45 - 5)

Area = 45 - 5√45 + 5√45 -25

Area = 45 -25

Area of rectangle = 20
