Let's assume that the width of one campsite is "x" yards.
Since there are 10 campsites arranged in a line, the total width of the campground, including the space between campsites, can be calculated as follows:
Total width = (Number of campsites + 1) * Width of one campsite
In our case, the number of campsites is 10, so the total width can be expressed as:
Total width = (10 + 1) * x
The distance between the edge of the campsite and the water is given as 4 yards. We know that the total area of the campground, including the beach, is 1050 yd².
The area of a rectangle is given by the formula: Area = length * width. In our case, the length is considered to be the total width of the campground.
Therefore, we have the equation:
1050 = Total width * 4
So, (10 + 1) * x * 4 = 1050
To solve for x, we can rearrange the equation as follows:
(11 * x * 4) = 1050
44x = 1050
Now, we can solve for x:
x = 1050 / 44
x ≈ 23.86
Therefore, the width of one campsite is approximately 23.86 yards.
