Answer: 43 yards.

Explanation:

Let the shape of the area occupied for festival be rectangle.

and area of rectangle = length x width

Given: Area of the festival= 2,494 square yards.

Length of the festival= 58 yards

Then width = (Area )÷ (length)

= (2494)÷58 yards

= 43 yards

hence, the width of the festival = 43 yards.
