Answer: 50m

Step-by-step explanation:

this is the logical way I solved it:

1. Find the area of the entire area thing

300*200=60000

2. Subtract the area of the field from the area of the entire place

60000-30000=30000

3. Divide the area of the parking by three because there are three sides

30000 ÷ 3 = 10000

4. Divide 10000 by 200, not 300 because we want to find the side with one x, not two x (there are two sides adding on to the side with 300, but only one side on the side with 200)

10000÷200= 50

I know the steps are weird, but I know this is the right answer because this was on the unit test (same misspelling and everything lol) and during tutoring my teacher showed me how to do it, but of course I had to forget the steps.
