The dimensions would be x and x+6. The area is 216.
x(x+6) = 216
x^2 + 6x - 216 = 0
(x-12)(x+18) = 0
x = 12---Yes---
x = -18---No, sides cannot be negative---
If one side is 12, the other side is 18. To check:
12 * 18 = 216
216 = 216
Correct
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

All we can do here is combine like terms (add those that have the same the same exponent)

Good luck!
False. You only flip when the number you are multiplying/dividing is negative.
Smallest side XYZ/ Smallest side ABC = Longest side XYZ/ Longest side ABC
Let longest side XYZ be x
280/112 = x/144
x = (280/112)×144
x = 360
Option D will be your answer
