What you have here is a triangle. So we need to use Pythagorean Theorem:
[tex]48^2+w^2=73^2 \\ 2304+w^2=5329 \\ w^2=3025 \\ w=55 [/tex]
His field is 55 meters wide.
[tex]c^2=a^2+b^2 73^2=48^2+b^2 5329=2304+b^2 3025=b^2 55=b[/tex]

The field can be divided into a triangle with 73 as the hypotenuse and 48 as a leg. The other side can be solved using the Pythagorean Theorem.
