The perimeter is the total of adding all of the sides together. A rectangle has 2 lengths and 2 widths. The equation would be:
P = 2l + 2w or P = l + l + w + w
Since you know the perimeter, you can plug it into the equation
53 = 2l + 2w
You can divide the 2 on both sides
26.5 = l + w
l = w + 2.3 because the length is 2.3 meters longer/more than the width. You can substitute (w + 2.3) for "l" in the equation. So instead of:
26.5 = l + w
It will be:
26.5 = (w + 2.3) + w
26.5 = w + 2.3 + w
Subtract 2.3 on both sides
24.3 = w + w
24.3 = 2w
Divide 2 on both sides
12.1 = w
The width is 12.1 meters

Let's just choose "x" as our variable for the length of a side of the triangle.
Two sides of a triangle are equal in length and double the length of the shortest side.
A triangle has 3 sides. Make the smallest side x then the two equal sides that are double the smallest side are both equal to 2x
The perimeter of the triangle is 35 inches. Perimeter is the sum of all sides.
x + 2x + 2x = 35
5x = 35
x = 7
So the smallest side is 7, and the other two sides are 14.
