Answer:
Option: B is the correct answer.
The length is 5 times the width.
Explanation:
We know that the area of the rectangle is defined as the product of the length and breadth(width) of the given rectangle.
i.e. Area of rectangle=Length×Width
Here we are given length of the rectangle as: 5x
and width of the rectangle as: x
This means that the area of rectangle is:
![Area=5x* x\\\\i.e.\\\\Area=5x^2](https://img.qammunity.org/2019/formulas/mathematics/middle-school/ie8zc38ayscbcc1ycuvn2sl0mdwggqr6wi.png)
Hence, we have:
![Length=5* width\\\\Since,width=x\\\\and\\\\Length=5x](https://img.qammunity.org/2019/formulas/mathematics/middle-school/94dpiis0wqm8756ued22omlncjumrxia1v.png)
i.e. The length is the 5 times of the width.
