Answer:

122 feet

Explanation:

We know that the length of the park is 65 feet long and the park is rectangular. Therefore we add 65+65 to find the total of both length sides.

65+65=130

Next we subtract 130 from the total amount of 374 to find the total of both width sides.

374-130=244

Now we divide what is left by 2 to find the width of an individual side.

244÷2=122

The width is 122.

Check your answer by inserting the numbers into the equation for perimeter.

P=2W+2L

374=(2×65)+(2×122)

374=130+244

374=374
