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
and the width be
.
Now, to find the width we put the formula of area of rectangle:
Area = length × width






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

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


So, the width of rectangle:
Width = 
= 
= 
Therefore, the width of rectangle is 1 unit.
Answer: y = 6
Step-by-step explanation:
The opposite sites of a parallelogram should be equal length. Therefore
, so
and thus
.
Answer:
AE = 4
Step-by-step explanation:
Use the formula
AE*EC = DE*EB
Since we don't know AE or EC, let AE = x and then EC will = 16 - x. The formula then becomes
x(16 - x) = 8(6)

Getting everything on one side and setting it equal to 0 will allow us to factor for x:

Factoring that gives you that
x = 4 and x = 12. That means that one of those sements has a length of 4 and the other has a length of 12. AE is shorter so it's 4 and EC = 12
