.
Square A=square with perimeter of 748m
Square B=square with perimeter of 335m
.
Side of Square A=748m/4=187m
Area of Square A=(187m)^2=34969m^2
.
Side of Square B=335m/4=83.75m
Area of Square B=(83.75m)^2=7014.0625m^2
.
Sum of areas=34969m^2+7014.0625m^2=41983.0625m^2
Side of square with combined area=sqrt%2841983.0625m%5E2%29=204.898m
Perimeter of larger square=(4)(204.898)=819.59m
ANSWER: The perimeter of the larger square would be 819.59 meters.
