Something is wrong, since just the 50x34 area is 1700 m^2
Now, if the area of just the road is 540, then
(50+2w)(34+2w) - 1700 = 540
w = 3m
A rectangular garden 50 m long and 34 m wide is surrounded by a uniform dirt road. Fine the width of the road if the total area of the garden and road is 540 m^2.
