We have two sides of length 'w'. They are the vertical sides.
We also have two sides of length '2w+6' which are the horizontal sides.
So we have these four sides
side1 = w
side2 = 2w+6
side3 = w
side4 = 2w+6
Let's add up those four sides to get
Perimeter = (side1)+(side2)+(side3)+(side4)
Perimeter = (w)+(2w+6)+(w)+(2w+6)
Perimeter = w+2w+6+w+2w+6
Perimeter = 6w+12
------------------------
Since the perimeter is given to be 228, and we found the perimeter expression to be 6w+12, this must mean that the two are equal
So, 6w+12 = 228
Let's solve for w
6w+12 = 228
6w+12-12 = 228-12
6w = 216
6w/6 = 216/6
w = 36
------------------------
Now that we know that w = 36, we can find the dimensions of this rectangle
The vertical sides are simply w, so the vertical sides are 36 feet each. I simply replaced w with 36.
The horizontal sides are a bit more complicated. The expression we have is 2w+6 or 2*w+6. Let's replace w with 36 and use PEMDAS to evaluate
2*w+6 = 2*36+6 = 78

Answers are...
Length = 78 feet
Width = 36 feet
(the length is the horizontal component, the width is the vertical)
Answer:
Student 2.
Step-by-step explanation:
There are 50 words that need to be searched to complete the puzzle. There are total five students the puzzle club. All students are good at word search and are looking up for the words to complete the puzzle. Each student has to look up for 10 words. There are possible chances that a student may miss all of 10 words. Student 2 is not attentive at the puzzle club then there are high chances that he may miss all the words.
Answer:
a) 
pounds of hamburger meat can be purchased by spending 1 dollar
b) 1 pound of hamburger meat costs 2.8 dollars
Step-by-step explanation:
Rate in this case can be defined in two ways
a) The maximum amount of hamburger meat that can be purchased by spending 1 dollar
pounds of hamburger meat can be purchased by spending 1 dollar
b) The maximum cost of 1 pound of hamburger meat
dollar
Thus, 1 pound of hamburger meat costs 2.8 dollars
