P = 1.48km = 1480m P = 2l + 2w l = 460 2l = 920 1480 - 920 = 560 560 = 2w 560 ÷ 2 = 280 280m = width or w

The width of the field is 280 meters, calculated from the perimeter and length using the perimeter formula for a rectangle. After converting the perimeter from kilometers to meters, we applied the formula and solved for the width. Therefore, the final answer is 280 meters wide.
