The perimeter of rectangular shaped parkin is P = 792 yards.

The width of rectangula parking is w = 168 yards.

The formula for the perimeter of rectangle is,


P=2(l+w)

where l is length.

Substitute the values in the formula to determine the length of rectangular parking.


\begin{gathered} 792=2(l+168) \\ (792)/(2)=l+168 \\ l=396-168 \\ =228 \end{gathered}

So length need to be 228 yards.
