show work pls

Answer 1

Area is 50 meters squared

Explanation:

So you know that length = 10 meters and width is half of the length.

You need to make an equation to solve for width, 'W', using length, 'L'

W = L / 2

Now just plug in length

W = 10 /2 = 5

Since you know length and width now, you can solve for area

Area = W * L

Area = 5 * 10

Area = 50
