Total Perimeter of Park and Parking Lot

A rectangular park has a length that is three times its width. If an adjacent parking lot has the same width as the park and a length of 24 meters, what is the total perimeter of both the park and the parking lot combined?

Let the width of the park be $w$ meters. Then the length of the park can be expressed as $3w$ meters. The parking lot is $w$ meters wide and 24 meters long. To find the total perimeter of both the park and parking lot, we can use the formula for the perimeter of a rectangle, which is given by $P = 2(l + w)$ where $l$ is the length and $w$ is the width.
