Area of the rectangle is 36 yd²
Step-by-step explanation:
- Step 1: Let width of the rectangle be x yd. So, length = 5 + x. Perimeter = 30 yd.
Perimeter = 2 (length + width)
30 = 2 (x + 5 + x)
30 = 10 + 4x
4x = 20
x = 4
∴ 5 + x = 9
⇒ Length = 9 yd and width = 4 yd
Area = length ××width
= 9 × 4 = 36 yd²
