Please show work !!

Answer 1

Answer:
`9.616 ft`

Explanation:

The last part of the question is: Find the value of the width

If the Texas Pee Wee football field has a rectangular shape (as shown in the figure), where the width is
`w` and the length is
`218 ft w`; its area
`A` is:

`A=20,160 ft^(2)=(length)(width)`

`20,160 ft^(2)=(218 w)(w)`

Isolating
`w`:

`w=\sqrt{(20,160 ft^(2))/(218)}`

Finally:

`w=9.616 ft` This is the widht of the Texas Pee Wee football field
