Answer/Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Population = 12,961
Dimension of field:
length (l) = 80 yards = 80*3 = 240 ft (1 yd = 3 ft)
width (w) = 45 yards = 45*3 = 135 ft
Area of the field = l*w = 240*135 = 32,400 ft²
Area occupied by 1 person = 2.5 ft²
No of people the field can occupy = 32,400 ÷ 2.5 = 12,960
Exactly 12,960 people can fit into the field.
The population of the city, which is 12,961, is more than what the field can accommodate. Therefore, the population cannot fit in.
