Then the side length of the square in the middle below is also x,
The side length of the lower left corner is (x+ 1).
The side length of the upper left corner is (x+2).
So the width of the rectangle is (x+ 1)+(x+2)=(2x+3),
The length of this rectangle is (x+ 1)+x+x=(3X+ 1).
The side length of the upper right corner is (3x+ 1)-(x+2)=2x- 1, so 2x- 1=x+3, and x=4 is obtained.
The two sides of the rectangle are 1 1 and 13, respectively, so the area of the big rectangle is11×13 =143.
