x = 7

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

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.

this is a very good question

step-by-step explanation:

i got a hair cut today from my mom not to flex just to flex kim jon un is one rad fellow i'd say you'd need to take the hairline in kinda like a box shape like someone rammed a lego brick into your head. from there you really need to take the top up keeping with that boxy aesthetic, finally coat the whole thing with gel if your country economics are failing or whatever you can just coat it with the starving children's food rations. about 5 orphans per strand is a good ratio. good luck with the fresh cut my dude
