Question

the width of a rectangle is m cm and its length is five times the width. find the area of the rectangle

Answer 1

The area is 5m^2 cm^2.

Explanation:

The area of a rectangle of width W and length L is A = W*L.

In this particular case, W = m cm, and L = 5W, or L = 5m cm.

Now to find the area of this rectangle: It is:

A = W*L = (m cm)*(5m cm) = 5m^2 cm^2

The area is 5m^2 cm^2.

Answer 2

5m^2

Explanation:

Create an equation

A=lw (normal area formula)

l=5w (length is 5 times the width)

Substitute

A=(5w)w

A=5w^2
