Answer:

If width = 60 m, length = 195 m.

If width = 150 m, length = 465 m.

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a rectangle is l * w or length times width.

So we can set an equation (letting w = width and x = length)

w = [tex]1/3x - 5[/tex]

Part 1: width = 60m:

60 = [tex]1/3x - 5[/tex]

65 = [tex]1/3x[/tex]

x = 195 m

Part 2: width = 150 m:

150 = [tex]1/3x - 5[/tex]

155 = [tex]1/3x[/tex]

x = 465 m
