Answer 1

Answer:
`5m^2` square centimeters.

Explanation:

Given : The width of a rectangle is equal to "m" cm, but its length is five times greater than the width.

i.e. Expression for Width = m and Length = 5 x m = 5m

We know that the area of a rectangle is given by :-

`\text{Area=length x width}`

Put Width = m and Length = 5m , we get

Area of the rectangle
`= (5m) *(m)= 5m^2` square centimeters.

Hence, the area of the rectangle =
`5m^2` square centimeters.
