Answer:
The crowd would cover an area of 100000 square feet of the field.
Step-by-step explanation:
The length of the football field = 1[tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] miles
1 mile = 5280 feet
So that, 1[tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] miles = 7920 feet
Given that the field was 12 feet deep on both sides implies that the width = 24 feet.
To estimate the size of the crowd,
length of field = 5000 feet
width = 20
Area of the field covered by the crowd = length × width
= 5000 × 20
= 100000
The crowd would cover an area of 100000 square feet.
