Respuesta :

To solve this problem you must apply the proccedure shown below:

1. You must use the formula for calculate the area of a rectangle:

[tex]Area=(Length)(Width)[/tex]

2. Now, you must solve for the width:

[tex]Length=12^{\frac{1}{2} }ft} =12.5ft \\ Area=103^{\frac{1}{8} } =103.125ft^{2}[/tex]

[tex]Width=\frac{103.125ft^{2} }{12.5ft} =8.25ft[/tex]

Therefore, the answer is: [tex]8.25ft[/tex]
