Answer: True, the width of the field is 160 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the width of the rectangular poll
Length of the poll is given as 120 yards
Since the area is given in ft², we need to convert the length from yard to feet
To calculate this;
1 yard = 3 feet
120 yards = x
cross multiply
x = 120 × 3 = 360 feet
Therefore; the length of the field = 120 yards = 360 feet
We can now go ahead and find the width
From the information given in the question;
Area of the rectangular foot ball field is 57, 600 ft² and the length of the rectangular football field is 360 feet
Let w = width of the rectangular football field
Area = Length × Width
57,600 = 360 × w
To get the value of w, we divide both-side of the equation by 360
[tex]\frac{57600}{360}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{360w}{360}[/tex]
160 = w
w = 160 feet
Therefore; the width of the rectangular football field is 160 feet
