L = Lenghth, W = Width
2L + 2W = 200 square feet
W = 1/2 L - 5
2L + 2 (1/2 L - 5) = 200
2L + L - 10 = 200
3L = 210
L = 70 feet
W = 1/2 L -5, Thus W = 1/2(70) - 5 = 30 feet
W = 30 feet
you times the length by the width to get the area of any rectangular or square shapes
area of an box is length x width.
If the room is rectangular - the usual case - multiply the length times the width. If length and width are in meters, the area will be in square meters; if length and width are in feet, the area will be in square feet, etc.
Assuming the area is rectangular, the area is width * length = 2*1 = 1 square unit.
length x width = area
you times the length by the width to get the area of any rectangular or square shapes
Area in square units = length*width
area of an box is length x width.
If the room is rectangular - the usual case - multiply the length times the width. If length and width are in meters, the area will be in square meters; if length and width are in feet, the area will be in square feet, etc.
Assuming the area is rectangular, the area is width * length = 2*1 = 1 square unit.
length x width = area
Area = Length x Width The area of the dance floor will be 12x6=72 square metres
Length*Width = Area So Length = Area/Width = 180/12 = 15 feet.
On any rectangular area: Area = (Length) x (Width) Length = (Area) / Width) Length = (800) / (20) = 40 feet
Area = 10*20 = 200 square units

If the room is rectangular, the area is simply length x width. If length and width are in feet, then the result of the multiplication will be square feet.
