perimeter = 2L+2w
from the problem L = 1/5w-2
so perimeter = 2(1/5w-2) +2w
= 2/5w-4 +2w
=12/5w-4
without seeing your choices it should be similar to this
Think of the 13-ft length of the ladder as the hypotenuse of a right triangle. Represent the horiz. distance from foot of ladder to base of tree by x, or 5 ft.
Represent the vert. dist. from base of tree to top of ladder by y, which is unknown.
Then (13 ft)^2 = (5 ft)^2 + y^2, or
169 ft^2 = 25 ft^2 + y^2. This simplifies to y^2 = 144. Thus y = + 12 feeet.
Note: Please pay attention to your spelling: "lader i up agenst a tree" should be "the top of a 13-ft ladder is placed against a tree."

Volume of a square pyramid when the area of the base is known is area x height/3
Volume = 48 x 8/3 = 128 cubic cm.
