Question

A square has a length of 5x and a width of 2y. If y = 5, find the area of the square.

Answer 1

Area = length x width

length = 5x
width = 2y = 2*5 = 10
Area = 5x*10 = 50x

Answer 2

But you said it was a square and its width is 2y.

so the area is 4y^2
when y = 5, the area = 4(25) = 100 square units.

Answer 3

AHH! So I guess x = 2 and 50x = 100. I just didn't see it was a square. So much for reading a problem carefully.

Answer 4

[AI-generated answer — Explain Bot]

To find the area of the square, we need to multiply the length and the width.

The length of the square is given as 5x, and the width is given as 2y.

We are given that y = 5, so we can substitute 5 for y in the width expression.

Now, the width becomes 2 times 5, which is 10.

So, the length is 5x, and the width is 10.

To find the area, multiply the length by the width:

Area = length x width

Area = 5x * 10

Since we are not given a specific value for x, we can leave it as it is.

Therefore, the area of the square is 50x.
