The initial dimenssions of the park lot are:
length: 140 ft
width: 90 ft
initial area: 140 * 90 = 12,600 ft^2
Area increased 29% = 12,600 * 1.29 = 16,254 ft^2
width of the strips: x
New length: 140 + x
New width: 90 + x
New area: (140+x)(90+x) = 16,254
Solution of the equation:
12600 + 230x + x^2 = 16254
=> x^2 + 230x - 3654 = 0
Use the quadratic formula.
x = {-230 +/- √[ 230^2 - 4*1*(-3654) ]} / 2 =
x = 14.92
The other solution is negative so it is discarded.

Answer:
The length of the rectangle is 18 cm
The width of the rectangle is 6 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
x-----> the length of the rectangle
y----> the width of the rectangle
we know that
The perimeter of the rectangle is
we have
so
------> equation A
------> equation B
Substitute equation B in equation A and solve for y
48=2(2y+6+y)
48=2(3y+6)
48=6y+12
6y=48-12
y=36/6=6 cm
Find the value of x
x=2(6)+6=18 cm
The area of the rectangle is
A=xy
A=18*6
A=108 cm^2
