L=w-4
a=l*w
a=w*(w-4)
252=w*(w-4)
Both numbers have to be multiples of 2 because 252 is even.
Both numbers have to be around 16 because √252 ≈15.9
You have to kind of mess around with it, 2 numbers 4 apart, around 16.
You'll get 18 and 14.

width=18
length=14

Hope this helps :)

A=LW
L=W-4
A=252

sub W-4 for L

A=(W-4)(W)
252=(W-4)(W)
252=W²-4W
minus 252 both sides
0=W²-4W-252
what 2 numbers multiply to get -252 and add to get -4
-18 and 14
0=(W-18)(W+14)
set to zero

W-18=0
W=18

W+14=0
W=-14
false, we can't have negative width


Width=18
L=W-4
L=18-4
L=14


length=14cm
width=18cm

Using an ordered alphabet of 26 letters, how many ways are there to choose a set of six letters such that no two letters in the
mestny [16]
To find our solution, we can start off by creating a string of 27 boxes, all followed by the letters of the alphabet. Underneath the boxes, we can place 6 pairs of boxes and 15 empty boxes.The stars represent the six letters we pick. The empty boxes to the left of the stars provide the "padding" needed to ensure that no two adjacent letters are chosen. We can create this - 
\binom {21} {6}= \frac{21*20*19*18*17*16}{6*5*4*3*2*1} =21*19*17*8=54264
Thus, the answer is that there are \boxed{54264} ways to choose a set of six letters such that no two letters in the set are adjacent in the alphabet. Hope this helped and have a phenomenal New Year! <em>2018</em>

What is the volume of the square pyramid with base edges 32 mm and slant height 34 mm?
leonid [27]

Answer:

V = 10,240mm^3

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of pyramid is given by the following formula:

V=\frac{1}{3}bh  (1)

b: base of the pyramid = (32mm)^2

h: height

Thus, it is necessary to find the value of h, by using the Pitagoras's theorem, one half of the base and the slant height (which forms a rectangle triangle with h):

h=\sqrt{(34)^2-(16)^2}=30mm

by replacing in (1) you obtain:

V=\frac{1}{3}(32mm)^2(30mm)=10,240\ mm^3

hence, the volume is 10240mm^3
