    w=10.75 l=32.25

    Step-by-step explanation:

    So if we know that the length is 3 times as long as the width than if the width is x, length would be 3x.

    3x+3x+x+x=86 There are two lengths and two widths

    8x=86 Combine like terms

    x=10.75 divide both sides by 8 and our width is 10.75

    Length is 32.25 multiply 10.75 by 3
