Let's get to work, now.
.
Yes, NOW!!
.
What's the formula for the perimeter of a rectangle?
.
Oh and by the way, it's for your own good. Not for my own good.
.
Yes, (2 x width) + (2 x length).
.
The length is 99 feet...
.
MAKE AN EQUATION!!
.
It's for your own good, remember!! :P
.
(2 x width) + (2 x 99) = 364.
.
Simplify!!
.
(2 x width) + 198 = 364.
.
FURTHER simplify.
.
(2 x width) = 166.
.
FURTHER FURTHER simplify!!
.
2 x width / 2 = 166 / 2.
.
width = 83.
.
There you have it.
.
Hope I helped!

P=2(L+W)
P=364
L=99
sub and find W
364=2(99+W)
divide both sides by 2
182=99+w
subtract 99 from both sides
83=W

w=83ft
