    Answer: width = 163 length = 359

    Explanation:

    width=x

    perimeter = 1044

    2 (width + length) = 898, length = width + 196 = x + 196

    width + length = 1044/2

    x + x + 196 = 522

    2x = 522 - 196

    2x = 326

    x = 163

    so,

    width = 163

    length = 359

    L = 386.5

    W = 190.5

    Step-by-step explanation:

    2W + 2L = 1044

    W + L = 577

    W = L - 196

    (L - 196) + L = 577

    2L = 577 + 196 = 773

    L = 386.5

    W = 190.5

    check: Perimeter = 2 x (386.5 + 190.5) = 2 x 577 = 1044
