What is the impact of being stereotyped as poor on an individual's life? How does it make them feel?
And you are left with almost a square. One less than the square of side n.
If you cut off the end of that rectangle, you make it smaller, 2 * 3 and a separate nub of size 1 * 2
The basic answer is that you cross-multiply the values in each factor:
Why was Boromir corrupted by the One Ring, but not Faramir in The Lord of the Rings?

Move the nub up to the top:

The more direct answer is to look at a rectangle with sides of n + 1 and n - 1, let’s go with n = 2
(n - 1)(n + 1)
n^2 - 1
So, that’s a rectangle with sides 2 and 4.
