    Perimeter of the park is 2 (85) = 2 (115) = 170 + 230 = 400

    and area = 85*115 = 9775

    A rectangle which is closer to a square will give a larger area so we can pick one that has length 110 and width 90 which has perimeter 400 also.

    its area = 110 * 90 = 9900

    so one answer is length 110 and width 90.
