<PRE><B>Question 161654</B>
P = 161.
L = larger side.
2/3 * L = smaller side.
P = L + 2*(2/3)*L = L + (4/3 * L) = L * (1 + 4/3) = L * (7/3) = (7/3)*L
(7/3)*L = 161
L = (3/7)*161
L = 69
-----
larger side = 69
smaller side = 2/3 * 69 = 46
-----
69 + 2*(46) = 69 + 92 = 161
-----
sizes prove to be good.
answer is:
-----
larger side = 69
smaller side = 46
