Answer:

The length is 65 cm and the width is 12 cm

Explanation:

A = lw = 780

P = 2 (l+w) = 154

The length is 5 more than 5 times the width

l=5w+5

P = 2 (l+w) = 154

Divide each side by 2

2 /2 (l+w) = 154/2

l+w = 77

Substituting l = 5w+5

5w+5 +w = 77

6w+5 = 77

Subtract 5 from each side

6w +5-5 = 77-5

6w = 72

Divide each side by 6

6w/6 = 72/6

w = 12

Now lets find l

l = 5w+5

l = 5(12)+5

l = 60+5

l = 65
