Length is 95 yards.

The perimeter of a rectangle is the sum of four sides. The four sides are either its length or width.

A rectangle has four sides where its angles are all right angles and its opposite sides are congruent or of equal size.

Perimeter = 2length + 2width ==> P = 2L + 2W

354 = 2L + 2(82)
354 = 2L + 164
to get the length. we must transfer all like signs.
2L = 354 - 164
2L = 190
2L / 2 = 190 / 2
L = 95 yards.
