Question

A rectangular shape parking lot is to have a perimeter of 550 yards. If the width must be 93 yards because of a building code what was the length need to be

Answer 1

the length= 182 yards

Explanation:

perimeter =550

width =93

length =x

perimeter of a rectangle = 2 length (2l)+ 2 width (2w)

550=2l+ 2(93)

550=2l+186

550-186=2l

364=2l

364/2 = 2l/2

182=l

therefore length(l) =182yards
