Answer:

a. 76 b. 52

Explanation:

The perimeter of a rectangle is the sum of its four sides.

Now all rectangles have a width and a length.

To find the perimeter it is 2 width + 2 length or 2W +2L.

So if the Perimeter P = 344 and Width W = 76 and P = 2W + 2L

Then...

2(76) + 2L = 344 multiply 2 and 76

2L + 152 = 344 subtract 152 from both sides

2L = 192 divide both sides by 2

L = 96

The length is 96.

The equation of an area of a rectangle is A or area = width x length or W x L

So the equation is A = W x L

If the area is 4732 and the length is 91 then

91W = 4732 divide both sides by 91

W = 52

The width is 52.

Hope that helps, good luck with your homework!
