Width = 8ft

Step-by-step explanation:

If we take the total area, 124 square feet, we are going to look for a width and a height for the rectangular region. Since the length is mentioned in the question, we don't need to find that. We know it is 15.5 ft. If we divide 124 by 15.5, we get 8. That is our width for the rectangle.
