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

Write an algebraic expression that is the quotient of a variable term and a constant.
docker41 [41]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  (47xy)/(6√3)

Step-by-step explanation:

A variable term is one that contains one or more variables, possibly with a coefficient. We can use 47xy as our variable term.

A constant is some number, or a representative of a particular number. π and e and Ф are representative of irrational constants. Of course, any number is also a constant. We can use 6√3 as our constant.

A quotient is formed when a first value is divided by a second value.

Here is the quotient of our variable term and our constant:

  \dfrac{47xy}{6\sqrt{3}}
