Length
12y5
meters

Answer 1

Explanation:

To find the length of the rectangle, we can use the formula:

Area = Length x Width

We know that the area of the rectangle is 12y^5 square meters, and the width is 3y^3 meters. Substituting these values into the formula, we get:

12y^5 = Length x 3y^3

To solve for the length, we need to isolate it on one side of the equation. We can do this by dividing both sides by 3y^3:

12y^5 / (3y^3) = Length

Simplifying the expression on the left side:

4y^(5-3) = Length

4y^2 = Length

Therefore, the length of the rectangle is 4y^2 meters.
