Answer:

D 5

Explanation:

4W + 25 = (W + 4) * W

4W + 25 = W^2 + 4W

25 = W^2

W = 5

So the answer is D.

Length = 4 + w
Width = w

Area of rectangle = Length * Width

Area of rectangle = 60

60 = (4 + w) * w

This should be the answer. If you have any questions then please feel free to ask. Good luck!
