Answer:

12,100 feet

Explanation:

The longest run way at an airport has the shape of a rectangle and an area of 1,573,000 sq ft. This run way is 130 feet wide. How long is the run way?

The area of a rectangle = Length × Width

Width = 130 feet

Area = 1,573,000 sq ft

The Length = Area/Width

= 1,573,000 sq ft/130 feet

= 12,100 feet

Therefore, the runaway is 12,100 feet long.
