Take into account that the number of feet required to build the fence is determined by the perimeter of the rectangular playground. Consider that the perimeter of a rectangle is given by:

P =2w + 2l

where,

w: width = 90ft

l: length = 50ft

Replace the previous values of w and l into the expression for P and simplify:

P = 2(90ft) + 2(50ft)

P = 180ft + 100ft

P = 280ft

Hence, 280ft are required to buil a fence around the rectangular playground.
