The answer is 17cm by 20cm.
The original area is 460cm (20x23), minus 120cm gives a new area of 340cm.
20cm-3cm=17cm and 23cm-3cm=20cm
17cmx20cm = 340cm

Try the numbers 22, 23, 24, 25 in the equation 4/3 = 32/d to test whether any of them is a solution. a. 23 is a solution. c. 24
S_A_V [24]

Answer:

c. 24 is a solution

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equation:

\frac{4}{3}=\frac{32}{d}

To test the numbers 22, 23, 24, 25 for the solution.

Solution:

In order to test the given number for the solution, we will plugin each number in the unknown variable d and see if it satisfies the equation.

1) d=22

\frac{4}{3}=\frac{32}{22}

Reducing fraction to simplest form by dividing the numerator and denominator by their G.C.F.

\frac{4}{3}=\frac{32\div 2}{22\div 2}

\frac{4}{3}=\frac{16}{11}

The above statement can never be true and hence 22 is not a solution.

2) d=23

\frac{4}{3}=\frac{32}{23}

The fractions can no further be reduced.

The statement can never be true and hence 23 is not a solution.

3) d=24

\frac{4}{3}=\frac{32}{24}

Reducing fraction to simplest form by dividing the numerator and denominator by their G.C.F.

\frac{4}{3}=\frac{32\div 8}{24\div 8}

\frac{4}{3}=\frac{4}{3}

The above statement is always true and hence 24 is a solution.

4) d=25

\frac{4}{3}=\frac{32}{25}

The fractions can no further be reduced.

The statement can never be true and hence 25 is not a solution.
