\huge\boxed{\text{48 inches}}

We know that \frac{\text{length}}{\text{width}} = \frac{60}{\text{width}} = \frac{5}{4}.

Solve using cross multiplication of the last two fractions. I will use w to represent the width of the rectangle. 60*4=w*5

Multiply. 240=5w

Divide both sides of the equation by 5. \boxed{48}=w

\text{Hello there!}\\\\\text{In this question, we're trying to find the width}\\\\\text{We can find the width with the given information from the question}\\\\\text{We know that the ratio for length to with is 5:4, respectively.}\\\\\text{We also know that the length of the rectangle is 60}\\\\\text{We need to get from5 to 60 in the ratio, so we would multiply}\\\text{by 12}\\\\\text{Now, we would multiply 4 by 12, since whatever you do to the left, you}\\\text{do to the right}\\\\4*12=48

\text{The ratio would be 60:48}\\\\\text{The width of the rectangle is 48 inches}\\\\\large\boxed{\text{Width}=48\,\text{ inches}}\\\\\text{I hope this helps!}\\\text{Best regards,}\\\text{MasterInvestor}

We see nothing below that makes the situation clear for us. 
We have no way to know what the angles 'x' and 'y' are, or
even whether they're on the same planet as the circle.
