The length of a rectangular park is 20 feet longer than the width of the park. if the length of the park is 36 feet, what is the width of the park?

The width of the park is, 16 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

let x be the width of the park.

As per the statement:

The length of a rectangular park is 20 feet longer than the width of the park.

⇒Length of the park = 20 + x               ....[1]

It is also given that:

If the length of the park is 36 feet.

⇒Length of the park = 36 feet

Substitute in [1] we have;

Subtract 20 from both sides we have;

Simplify:

or

x = 16 feet

Therefore, the width of the park is, 16 feet.
