Hmmm. I think it would be more effective for you to attempt those problems yourself, and if you are STUCK or DONT GET something, you explain what you did here and we can help! that way this would be more active on your part. part of getting better at problem solving is to experiment and investigate for yourself~

2L+2W= 2(w+7)=1232 correct?

Rectangular box volume is

V = l * w * h
l is length 2 is width and h i height and v is the volume 
now we know V = 1232
l = unknown 
h = 22
w = 7

1232 = l * 7 * 22
you can take it from here for the 1st one?

@Will.H : thank you for correcting what I did wrong, on number 1

will.h · Answer

as for the 2nd one triangle are formula is 
A = 1/2 * b * h

A = 6
b = unknown 
h = 4

6 = 1/2 * b * 4

again you can take it from here? 
and you welcome
