Answer:

the width is 360 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the width of the flag is shown below:

Let us assume the width be x

So the length would be x + 340

And, the perimeter is 2,120 ft

So the formula is

Perimeter = 2(length + width)

2,120 = 2(x + 340 + x)

2,120 = 2x + 680 + 2x

2,120 = 4x + 680

4x = 2,120 - 680

x = 360

hence, the width is 360 ft
