To find the width of the rectangular yard, we can use the formula for the area of a rectangle:
\[ \text{Area} = \text{Length} \times \text{Width} \]
In this case, we know the area and the length. We can rearrange the formula to solve for the width:
\[ \text{Width} = \frac{\text{Area}}{\text{Length}} \]
Given:
- Area = 5,063 square feet
- Length = 61 feet
Now, we can plug in the values:
\[ \text{Width} = \frac{5063 \text{ sq ft}}{61 \text{ ft}} \]
Now, perform the division:
\[ \text{Width} = 83 \text{ ft} \]
Thus, the width of the rectangular yard is 83 feet.
