<h3>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

x = \frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}\\\\x = \frac{-(-23)\pm\sqrt{(-23)^2-4(1)(112)}}{2(1)}\\\\x = \frac{23\pm\sqrt{81}}{2}\\\\x = \frac{23\pm9}{2}\\\\x = \frac{23+9}{2}\ \text{ or } \ x = \frac{23-9}{2}\\\\x = \frac{32}{2}\ \text{ or } \ x = \frac{14}{2}\\\\x = 16\ \text{ or } \ x = 7\\\\

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.

<h3>Answer: Bottom right corner (ie southeast corner)</h3>

This 3D solid is a strange sideways bowl shape. Each cross section is a ring to show the empty space.

======================================================

Explanation:

Check out the diagram below. The graph was created with GeoGebra. We have y = x^2 in red and x = y^2 in blue.

The gray region is the region between the two curves. We spin this gray region around the horizontal green line y = 1 to generate the answer mentioned above.

Note how (1,1) is a fixed point that does not move as this is on the line y = 1. Every other point moves to sweep through 3D space to create the solid figure. One way you can think of it is to think of propeller blades. Or you can think of a revolving door (the door is "flat" so to speak, but it sweeps out a 3D solid cylinder).

Negate the conditional statement.
Tpy6a [65]

(not <em>a</em> or not <em>b</em>) implies <em>c</em>   <==>   not (not <em>a</em> or not <em>b</em>) or <em>c</em>

so negating gives

not [(not <em>a</em> or not <em>b</em>) implies <em>c</em>]   <==>   not[ not (not <em>a</em> or not <em>b</em>) or <em>c</em>]

which we can simplify somewhat to

not (not (not <em>a</em> or not <em>b</em>)) and not <em>c</em>

(not <em>a</em> or not <em>b</em>) and not <em>c</em>

(not <em>a</em> and not <em>c</em>) or (not <em>b</em> and not <em>c</em>)

not (<em>a</em> or <em>c</em>) or not (<em>b</em> or <em>c</em>)

not ((<em>a</em> or <em>c</em>) and (<em>b</em> or <em>c</em>))

not ((<em>a</em> and <em>b</em>) or <em>c</em>)
