Respuesta :

Answer: [tex]9.616 ft[/tex]

Step-by-step 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 [tex]w[/tex] and the length is [tex]218 ft w[/tex]; its area [tex]A[/tex] is:

[tex]A=20,160 ft^{2}=(length)(width)[/tex]

[tex]20,160 ft^{2}=(218 w)(w)[/tex]

Isolating [tex]w[/tex]:

[tex]w=\sqrt{\frac{20,160 ft^{2}}{218}}[/tex]

Finally:

[tex]w=9.616 ft[/tex] This is the widht of the Texas Pee Wee football field
