L= 97

Explanation:

The perimeter is all of the sides of the rectangular pool added up. We know the both widths are gonna be 54m. So to find both widths together you need to multiply 54 by 2 to give us 108. The we need to find both lengths together, so subtracting 302-108 will get us 194. Both lengths together, 194, divided by 2 is 97, which is our length.
