Answer:

108

Explanation:

p=2(l+w)

352=2(l+68)

352=2l+136

2l=352-136

2l=216

l=108

Formula of Perimeter of rectangle( P ) = 2 ( l + b )

Perimeter = 352m

Width = 68m

Length = ?

Now

Perimeter ( P ) = 2 ( l + b )

352m = 2 ( l + 68m )

352m = 2l + 136m

352m - 136m = 2l

216m = 2l


l \: = (216m)/(2) \\

l = 108m

hence the length is 108m...
