OpenStudy (studygurl14):

Next step. It says the width is 5 times the length. Now, we don't know the width or the length. So, if we use L for length, then the width equals 5L. correct?

OpenStudy (skittles_for_life6422):

yup

OpenStudy (studygurl14):

Label the rectangle accordingly.

OpenStudy (skittles_for_life6422):
