Hi There!

Your answer is:

Length = 116

Width = 56

Step-by-step explanation:

L= 4+ 2w

Width=w

perimeter formula

l+l+w+w= perimeter

Subsitute L for 4+2w

(4+2w)+(4+2w) + (w) + (w) = 344

8 +4w+w+w = 344

8+ 6w = 344

-8

6w = 336

/6

w= 56

PLUG BACK IN!

Length = 4+ 2w

Length = 4+ 2(56)

Length = 116

Width = 56

CHECK YOUR WORK

116+116+56+56= 344???

344 = 344 YES

HOPE THIS HELPS
