5 0

Perimeter=2l+2w

28=2l+2w
l=w+2

Substitute for l
28=2(w+2)+2w
28= 2w+4+2w
28=4w+4
24=4w
6=w

Plug the w value in
l=6+2
l=8

Final answer: Length=8 ft, Width=6 ft

Answer:

3.4 yards cubed

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume is length x width x height

Length 2 4/5, Width 2, Height 3/5 so 2 4/5 x 2 x 3/5

It looks like they want the answer in decimal form, so you can convert the fractions into decimals.

For the length 2 4/5, you divide the 4 by 5 to get a decimal of .8 so now it's 2.8

For the height of 3/5, you divide the 3/5 & get .6

Now it's 2.8 x 2 x .6 = 3.36 yards cubed which could get rounded up to 3.4 yards cubed
