l=10.5
l equals 10.5

The length is 262.5 m.
The length is 262.5 m.

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

The length is 10.5 m.

The correct answer is l=10.5.

To solve the problem, we need to substitute the given values into the formula for the area of a rectangle (A = lw). We already know that the area is 52.5 m^2 and the width is 5 m.

Substituting these values into the formula, we get 52.5 = 5l.
To solve for l, we divide both sides of the equation by 5:
52.5 / 5 = l.
This simplifies to 10.5 = l. Hence, the length is 10.5 m.

The solution to the real-world problem is that the rectangle has a length of 10.5 meters.
