Answer:

7 yards.

Explanation:

We know that in the case of the rectangle, the area is equal to the length times the width, that is:

A = l * w

We know that the value of the area is 35 yd ^ 2 and the width is 5 yd, therefore what we must do is solve for the length, like this:

l = A / w

replacing:

l = 35/5

l = 7

therefore the length of the rectangle flower bed is 7 yards.
