Question 1127444: The width of a rectangle is equal to m cm, but its length is five times greater than the width. Find the area of the rectangle. Found 2 solutions by FrankM, addingup:Answer by FrankM(1040) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! By "five times greater" do you mean 5 times the size?
W = M cm
L = 5M cm
Area is 5m^2 cm
If you really meant five times greater, i.e. 6 times the width, then....
W = M cm
L = 6M cm
Area is 6m^2 cm.
The wording "five times greater" is ambiguous. No math teacher should use it.
