Let's use the formula for the perimeter of a rectangle:
Perimeter = 2(length + width)
We know that the perimeter of the office is 30 feet, and the width is 5 feet. Substituting these values into the formula, we get:
30 = 2(length + 5)
We can simplify this equation by dividing both sides by 2:
15 = length + 5
Subtracting 5 from both sides, we get:
10 = length
Therefore, the length of the office is 10 feet.
