This is the working. the answer is x is less than half. the number line is beside it.
I hope it helped

It's "commutative property," which says that (for addition/multiplication) order of the operator doesn't matter. For eg, 3 * 5 = 5 * 3.
Associative property (again, of multiplication and addition) means that it doesn't matter how you solve an expression if the same operand is used and some numbers are grouped. For eg. 3 * (5 * 4) = (3 * 5) * 4.
Answer:
it is easy use the formula of triangle which is 1/2(base × height) and base is the side where the height touches and height means the perpendicular line.
And in some cases there may be the use of pythagoras theorem
To solve this problem, we have to use the area of both gauze or the dimensions on each gauze and compare them. we can see that the sheets are not similar as they have different areas.
<h3>Area of Rectangle</h3>
The area of a rectangle is given as the product between the length and it's width.
Data;
- Length = 9in
- Area = 45in^2
- width = ?
- length 2 = 4in
- width 2 = 3in

In the first gauze, the area is given as 45in^2 and we have value of the length. To find the width of the first gauze can be calculated as

We can see that the width are not equal so is their length.
But if we would truly compare them, the accurate way to do that is by their area
The area of the second gauze is given by

From the above calculations, we can see that the sheets are not similar as they have different areas.
