Solution

The formula for the perimeter of a rectangle is P = 2l + 2w, where P is the perimeter, l is the length, and w is the width.

We are given P = 5252 feet and l = 66 feet. We are asked to solve for w.

First, let's isolate w in the formula.

Subtract 2l from both sides of the equation:

P - 2l = 2w

Then, divide both sides by 2 to solve for w:

w = (P - 2l) / 2

This is the formula for the width of the rectangle in terms of the known variables.
