Answer:

  length: 23 m; width: 11 m.

Step-by-step explanation:

The perimeter of a rectangle is twice the sum of its length and width, so that sum is 34 m. Then you can write two equations in length and width:

  l + w = 34

  l - w = 12

Adding these together gives you ...

  2l = 46

  l = 23 . . . . . . divide by 2

Then the width is

  w = 23 -12 = 11

The length and width are 23 m and 11 m, respectively.
