Area = length x width
length = 5x
width = 2y = 2*5 = 10
Area = 5x*10 = 50x
length = 5x
width = 2y = 2*5 = 10
Area = 5x*10 = 50x

But you said it was a square and its width is 2y.
so the area is 4y^2
when y = 5, the area = 4(25) = 100 square units.
Go with DrBob222 if your figure was a rectangle

AHH! So I guess x = 2 and 50x = 100. I just didn't see it was a square. So much for reading a problem carefully.
