To solve this you would make a triangle, Assuming you had a piece of paper.

It would look like the picture included (where ever that is) sorry for the horrible drawing with mouse.

You can then you Pythagorean Theorem to solve this


a^(2) + b^2 =c^2

width will be (a)

put in your variables


a^2 + 72^2 = 90^2

a^2 + 5184 = 8100

Subtract 5184 over and get

a^2 = 2916

square root both sides and get
a=54

the field is 54 meters wide
