Assign variables to everything and solve completely in variables.

Known:
A, area
p, perimeter
Unknown:
x, y the dimensions.

You can solve the system on your own, for x and y. That will be several algebraic steps.

You make the substitution,s A=2045.44 and p=184 any place you want in the process. The later in the process you do this, the better. Most comfortable thing is make the step forming the simplified quadratic equation all in symbols; AND then substitute the given values into the general solution formula.
