(a) To find the length of the rectangle parking lot, we can use the formula for the perimeter of a rectangle:
Perimeter = 2 * (Length + Width)
Given that the perimeter is 374m and the width is 88m, we can substitute these values into the equation and solve for the length:
374 = 2 * (Length + 88)
Divide both sides of the equation by 2:
374/2 = Length + 88
187 = Length + 88
Subtract 88 from both sides:
Length = 187 - 88
Length = 99m
So, the length of the parking lot is 99m.
(b) To find the width of the rectangular pool, we can use the formula for the area of a rectangle:
Area = Length * Width
Given that the area is 6768m^2 and the length is 94m, we can substitute these values into the equation and solve for the width:
6768 = 94 * Width
Divide both sides of the equation by 94:
6768/94 = Width
Width ≈ 72m (rounded to the nearest whole number)
So, the width of the pool is approximately 72m.
