The perimeter of a rectangle parking lot is 340 m. If the length of the parking lot is 97 m, what is it’s width?

The formula for a rectangles perimeter P, is:
P = 2l + 2w where l is the length and w is the width.

Plugging in our P = 340 and l = 97, we have:
2(97) + 2w = 340

Multiply through, we get:
2w + 194 = 340

Type this equation into our search engine, we get:
w = 73
