Answer: Area is 20
Explanation:
Perimeter of a rectangle is 24
Let the length be x
Let the breadth be Y
Length is 5times the breadth
I.e
X=5y
Formula for perimeter of a rectangle is
2(length + breadth)
= 2(x+y)
Substitute for x=5y
2(5y+y)=24
2(6y)=24
6y=24/2
6y=12
Y=12/6
Y=2
Breadth = 2
Since length =5y
Length=5(2)
Length = 10
Area of a rectangle = length × breadth
Area= 10×2
Area = 20
Area of the rectangle is 20
