The perimeter of a rectangular parking lot is 258 meters. If the length of the parking lot is 71, what is its width?

The perimeter for a rectangle (P) is given as:
2l + 2w = P

We're given P = 258 and l = 71. Plug these values in:
2(71) + 2w = 258
142 + 2w = 258

Typing this equation into our search engine, we get:
w = 58
