A rectangular carport has area of one 50 ft.The width of the carport is 5 feet less than twice its length. Find the length and width of the carport

Width= ? feet,
Length= ? feet

Answer 1

A) = 5

B) = 10

C) = (5 x 10)= 50

Explanation:

Area of a rectangle a x b = c

Where a is the short side

Where b is the long side

And c is our area

Okay now we we have to think what numbers give us 50 so ( 1 x 50 , 5 x 10 , 2 x 25)

So since now we have the numbers we look for a number that is twice the other and is - 5 the other one and the only numbers are 10 and 5 so in conclusion

A= 5

B= 10

C= 50

Answer 2

It is 10 because 5 times 10 is 50
