<span>In two similar triangles, like the one we see above, the ratio of their areas is the square of the ratio of their sides.

Based on the graph, we see that BD is 3 times larger than BA. This means that the area of DBE will be 3</span>² times larger, or 9 times larger, than the area of ABC.

Area of ABC = 3 square units
Area of DBE = 3 * 9 = 27 square units
Answer is A.

The width of a rectangle is 5 units less than the length. The area of the rectangle is 6 units. What is the width, in units, of

Readme [11.4K]

Answer:

The width of rectangle is 1 unit.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

The area of rectangle is 6 units and its width is 5 units less than the length.

So, to find the width of rectangle.

Let the length be $x$ and the width be $x-5$ .

Now, to find the width we put the formula of area of rectangle:

Area = length × width

$6= x\times (x-5)$

$6=x^{2}-5x$

$0=x^{2}-5x-6$

$0=x^{2}-6x+x-6$

$0=x(x-6)+1(x-6)$

$0=(x-6)(x+1)$

<em>On solving equation we get:</em>

$x-6=0, x+1=0$

Therefore, we take the value x=6 as it is positive value:

$x-6=0$

$x=6$

So, the width of rectangle:

Width = $x-5$

= $6-5$

= $1$

Therefore, the width of rectangle is 1 unit.
