Question

The length of a rectangular garden is 5 times its width.

Find the length and width if the area is 500 m^2. Has anyone who answer me to this question?

Answer 1

• 10 m and 50 m

Explanation:

Given

• l = 5w
• A = 500 m²

To find

• Length and width

Solution

Area formula

• A = lw
• A= 5w*w= 5w²
• 5w² = 500
• w²= 100
• w = √100
• w = 10 m

Then

• l = 5w = 5*10 m = 50 m
