SOLUTION

The perimeter of the rectangle is given as 302.

It is given that the width is 68.

Recal the formula for perimeter of a rectagle:

Substituting values gives:

Solve the equation for l.

$\begin{gathered} (302)/(2)=l+68 \\ 151=l+68 \\ l=151-68 \\ l=83 \end{gathered}$

Therefore the length of the rectangle is 83
