You've attempted to find the value of the inductor. What value did you get?

Can you find the value of the resistor? (Hint: at resonance the reactive impedances cancel each other, and the average power given will be dissipated by the resistor. What's the average power dissipated by a resistor given a maximum value for the voltage?).
 
I appreciate your assistance!
