Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To find the width, we need to divide the area by the length:

width = area/length

width = 42,804 sq yds / 246 yds

width ≈ 174 yds

Therefore, the width of the parcel is approximately 174 yards, which is option C). To find the width of the parcel, we can divide the area by the length:
width = area/length
width = 42,804/246
width = 174 yards
