Question

The perimeter of a rectangular parking lot is 312m .

If the length of the parking lot is 95 m, what is its width?

Answer 1

61 meters

Explanation:

The perimeter of a rectangle is 2l + 2w, l being the length and w being the width. Substitute the known value into the equation and solve:

312 = 2(95) + 2w

312 = 190 + 2w

122 = 2w

w = 61

Answer 2

That 160m is the length (95m) plus the width; so the width is 160-95 = 65m.
