Hello, 

We know that th formula for the area of a rectangle is: A=b*h
Now, the problem in this excercise is that there is no restriction on the values that b and h can take, so, they can take any value provided that it meets:  b*h=12 cm^{2}
for example:
lenght=  \frac{12}{3}cm \,\,\,\,\,\,and\,\,\,\,width= 3 cm \\  \\ A=\frac{12}{3}cm*3cm \\ A=12 cm^{2}

But if they can only take intenger values, what we have to do is to descompose 12, and then we can analyze the possible solutions.

12   |  2
  6   |  2
  3   |  3
  1

12= 2 *2*3

first option:
12=4*3

Answer: lenght= 4cm   and   width= 3cm  or vice versa

second option:
12=2*6

Answer: lenght= 6cm   and   width= 2cm  <span>or vice versa</span>

Geometric proofs. I just don’t understand it and my teacher isn’t helping.
pshichka [43]
The midpoint of a line can be represented by the point that is in the very center of the line. A line segment such as AT also represents half of the line. The symbol of the tilde with the equal sign underneath represents congruence meaning the two segments are the same. Therefore each equation shows the same true statement in a different form

Bingel [31]

Y=7.75,

19.375X=7.75

Then solve for X
