Answer:
The area of ABCF is 2 and 2 × AB = 4
The statement proves that the conjecture is false
Step-by-step explanation:
A conjecture is a proposition or conclusion that is presumed to be true or correct but which is based on incomplete details or information
Given the length of the sides of rectangle ABDE, we have;
Length AB = 2 units
Length DE = 2 units
The area of ABDE = 2 × 2 = 4 unit²
Therefore, the area of the rectangle ABDE is equal to 2 × the length of either AB or DE
However, the are of rectangle ABCF = 2 × 1 = 2 unit²
While the area of rectangle 2 × the length of side AB = 2 × 2 = 4 unit², which is not equal to the number of square units in the area of the rectangle.
Therefore;
The area of ABCF is 2 and 2 × AB = 4
The statement (above) proves that the conjecture is false.
