Answer: depends on the question

Explanation:

If 5488 is the perimeter

1.98 is the length of one side, therefore the length of its opposite side is also 98

2. 98 times 2 is 196

3. 196+2x=5488. The reason we use 2x is to find the other two equal sides

4. 5488-196 is 5292

5. 5292 divided by 2 is 2646

6. the missing side length is 2646

If 5488 is the area

5488 divided by 98 is 56
