So usually to find area its Length x Width but in your case we revers it

: Area divided by length = width (:
it would look like 80 divided by 5
so what is 80 divided by 5 ? (:
SO now if we check our work it would look like 16 * 5
which is 80!! so its correct. Yourwelcome.have a bless day
The problem with that answer is that 16 is not 5 times 5. You should hav e solved
w * 5w = 80
w^2 = 16
w = 4
So the field is 4x20
Note that 20 = 5x4.
the answer is w=4 I think
