ANSWERS
52 meters

54 1/10 meters

Answer 1

Answer: Choice A) 52 meters

===============================================

Work Shown:

20 & 4/5 = 20 + 4/5 = 20 + 0.8 = 20.8

2 & 1/2 = 2 + 1/2 = 2 + 0.5 = 2.5

The width is 20.8 meters. The length is 2.5 times that

length = 2.5*width

length = 2.5*20.8

length = 52
