width = w

length = w+48.2

P=343.6

the formula for perimeter

P =2(l+w)

substitute what was given in the problem

343.6 = 2(w+48.2 +w)

combine like terms

343.6=2(2w +48.2)

divide by 2

171.8 = 2w+48.2

subtract 48.2 from each side

123.6 = 2w

w = 61.8mm

l = w +48.2

l =61.6+48.2

l=110mm

Answer: width = 61.8mm

length = 110 mm
