Select the correct answer
Ethan's school has a sports field with an area of 6,450.35 square yards. If the length of the field is 90.85 yards, what is the width of the field?

Answer 1

71 yards.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the field is rectangular in shape, the formula for finding the Area is L * W

where L = length, and W = width

From the question Area of the sport field = 6,450.35 square yards

this implies that L*W = 6,450.35 square yards

Also, given that the length of the field L = 90.85 yards

Therefore from the equation 90.85W = 6,450.35 square yards

W = 6,450.35 square yards ÷ 90.85 yards

W = 71 yards

Hence, the Width of the sport field is 71 yards.
