512 feet because to find the area u multiply length times width and since your givin the area and width you divide the area by the width

Area= Length x Width (a= lw) You already have the area so you need to reverse the equation to solve for length instead of area: L = A/W (Length= Area/Width) You need to divide your area by the width you have been given to find the length: 210, 944 / 412 = 512. Your length is 512 feet.
