    1500 ft²

    Step-by-step explanation:

    The sum of two adjacent sides of the pasture is half the perimeter (160 ft/2 = 80 ft), so the side adjacent to the 50 ft side will be 80 ft - 50 ft = 30 ft.

    The product of adjacent sides of a rectangle gives the area of the rectangle. That area will be ...

    area = (50 ft) (30 ft) = 1500 ft²
