Answer: x = 7</h3>
===========================================================
Explanation:
The largest rectangle (composed of the green and yellow sections combined) has area of 11*12 = 132 cm^2.
The yellow region takes up 112 of those 132 sq cm. This must mean the green region takes up 132-112 = 20 cm^2.
The horizontal portion of the green rectangle is 12-x cm. The vertical portion is 11-x cm. We can form the area of the green rectangle as an algebraic expression like so
area = length*width
area = (11-x)*(12-x)
area = 132 - 11x - 12x + x^2 .... apply the FOIL rule
area = x^2 - 23x + 132
Set this equal to the 20 cm^2 we found earlier.
x^2 - 23x + 132 = 20
x^2 - 23x + 132-20 = 0
x^2 - 23x + 112 = 0
We could factor or we could use the quadratic formula. I'll go with the second option.
We'll plug in a = 1, b = -23, c = 112
One of these solutions isn't feasible. Note how if x = 16, then this exceeds both the 11 cm and 12 cm sides. So this x value is not possible.
However, x = 7 is possible.
If x = 7, then the horizontal portion of the green rectangle is 12-x = 12-7 = 5 cm. Also, the vertical portion of the green rectangle would be 11-x = 11-7 = 4 cm. The area then is length*width = 5*4 = 20 cm^2 which matches up with what we got earlier. So the answer is confirmed.

Answer:
the diagonal measurement from corner A to corner B=15 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
as we know that the loptop has the shape of a rectangle that means all it's angles are right angles. so we can use the pythogoras theorem to find out the diagonal of the rectangle.
let us denote the diagonal of rectangle by D and the sides of rectangle be denoted by X=12 and Y=9
so by using pythogoras theorem we have,
=225
D=15
Hence the diagonal measurement from corner A to corner B is 15 inches.
