The diagonal of a rectangle is shown. Decompose the rectangle along the diagonal, and recompose the two pieces to make a different shape.
How does the area of this new shape compare to the area of the original rectangle? Explain how you know.

The area will still be the same

Step-by-step explanation:

The area would still be the same because you are not taking away or adding any more 'squares'

(n^3 - n)

= n(n-1)(n+1)

since it is divisible by 3 and 2 ,because it is a multiple 3 consecutive number

if, n-1 is odd then n+1 is also odd, then it is a multiple of 9

but if, n-1 is even then n+1 is also even, then it is a multiple of 4

so, largest multiple = max(9*2, 4*3) = max(18, 12) = 18
