As you can see my formula clearly worked, and gave me the correct difference of one hundred and twenty.
I am now going to prove my results algebraically for a 2 X 3 rectangle.
x x+2
x+10 x+12
Therefore : x(x+12) = (x+2)(x+10) =
x² + 12x x² + 20x + 2x +20 =
x² + 22x + 20
This clearly shows that no matter what the value of x maybe in a 2 X 3 rectangle the difference is always going to be twenty.
