Answer: 65 meters

Explanation:

We can substitute our given values into the formula for the perimeter of a rectangular parking lot and solve.

Given:

P = 2L + 2W

Substitute:

302 meters = 2(86 meters) + 2W

Multiply:

302 meters = 172 meters + 2W

Subtract 172 meters from both sides:

130 meters = 2W

Divide both sides of the equation by two:

65 meters = W
