[quote=PinnacleWalk]I made a simple mistake on my first try. i fixed it. you can see it now. I accidentally thought 14x14=144...

Height: 6
Width x-(6x2)
length x-(6x2)

So: 6(x-12)(x-12)=864

864/6=144

(x-12)^2=144

x-12= 12

x=24

NEW ANSWER: 9

2(x-4)^2=50
(x-4)^2=25
x-4=5
x=9[/quote]

YESS IT WORKED TYSM

[quote=PinnacleWalk]32.7846

6(x-12)(x-12)=864
6(x^2-24x-144)=864
x^2-24x-144=864/6
x^2-24x-144=144

x^2-24x-244=0

factor it.

you get 32.78 and -8.78

-8.78 doesn't work. so it must be 32.78?[/quote]
