Square feet. The runaway is 190 feet wide how long is the runaway

Let

x -----> the length of the the runaway

y ----> the width of the runaway

The area of the runaway is equal to

A=x*y

we have

A=2,306,600 ft2

y=190 ft

x=?

substitute the given values in the formula

2,306,600=x*190

solve for x

x=2,306,600/190

x=12,140 ft

therefore

the runaway is 12,140 feet long
