Answer 1

Check the explanation

Explanation:

First note down the area equation, that is A = L * W where "A" represents the area, "L" represents the length while "W" stands for the width of a rectangle. To Solve the area equation: 30 = L * 6. Then divide the two sides of the equation by 6, and then you write down the answer. It will look like this: 5 = L.
