An open box is made from a 40 -cm by 50-cm piece of tin by cutting a square from each corner and folding the edges. The area of the resulting base is 1064cm squared. What is the length of the sides of the squares?

Hope this ; )

If you need an equation, it would be y=2x+8, y would be how long it grew, x being weeks.if you need how long he was asleep, it would be 4 weeks if he started with no beard, the equation would be x=8÷2if he did have a beard before hand, the equation would be 2w+x=8

You can find the area of a rectangle by multiplying the length and height. so multiply 1/2*7/4(which is the simpler version of 1 3/4) and you get 7/8 as your answer.
