    The rectangular parking lot has a width of 76 feet and a length of 40 feet

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Let's find the length and the width of the rectangular parking lot, this way:

    Perimeter = 232 feet

    Perimeter = 2 Length + 2 Width

    Length = Width - 36 feet

    Now, substituting, we have:

    2 (Width - 36) + 2 Width = 232

    2 Width - 72 + 2 Width = 232

    4 Width = 232 + 72

    4 Width = 304

    Width = 304/4 = 76 feet

    Length = 76 - 36 = 40 feet

    The rectangular parking lot has a width of 76 feet and a length of 40 feet
