The length is 262.5 m2.
The length is 262.5 m squared .

The length is 10.5 m.
The length is 10.5 m.

l=10.5
l equals 10.5

The length is 262.5 m.

Answer 1

The correct answer is:

The length is 10.5 m.

To find the length of the rectangle, we can rearrange the formula A = lw to solve for l (length).

Given that the area of the rectangle is 52.5 m^2 and the width is 5 m, we can substitute these values into the formula:

52.5 = l * 5

To isolate l, we divide both sides of the equation by 5:

52.5 / 5 = l

This simplifies to:

10.5 = l

Therefore, the length of the rectangle is 10.5 m.
