It is given that the area of the rectangular field is 12,750 ft and the width of it is 150 ft.

We know that the area of the rectangle is given by :

A = l * w

where l is the lenght and w is the width.

so substituting for the values, we get:

12,750 = l * 150

To find the value of l, we get:

l = 85 yards.

Hence the lenght of the rectangular field is l = 85 yards.

Thus the solution.
