Think of this as a proportion: 2.4 is to 100, as 34 is to L ("L" for "Long piece.")

Cross multiply to get 2.4 L = 3400, then divide both sides by 2.4 to be left with

L = 3400/2.4, so

L = 1416.666...

So the longer piece of wood is 1,416.66... inches long.

Hope this helps!!:)

I'm going to refer to the length of the pool as L.

2x + 2L = perimeter.

The width of pool multiplied by two added to the length of the pool multiplied by two equals to the perimeter.
