Analyze Polygon Width At A Certain Point

Question

I am hoping to be able to analyze the width of a polygon at a certain point, such as a certain distance from a particular feature or from an edge of the polygon I am hoping to analyze. How can I do this with many polygons quickly and not have to do it manually, and be able to add the output as a new field in an attribute table? How do I do this? Does it involve scripts and/or models? I use ArcGIS Pro. I was using version 2.9.3, until updating to version 3.0.0 on Tuesday, June 28, 2022.

The polygons are close to rectangles, but are irregular. Here is a picture of some of those polygons.

What are you trying to quantify specifically?

How does the start location enter into it?

How is distance important?

Are the polygonal features directionally aligned as a group?

Do you have an image of  some sample polygons that you are dealing with?
