Answer:

A = 2w² - 5w

150 sq.cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the length be L and width be w

If the length of a rectangle is 5 centimeters less than 2 times the width, then;

L = 2w - 5

Area of the rectangle A = Lw

Since L = 2w - 5

A = (2w-5)w

Expand

A = 2w² - 5w

b) if w = 10cm

A = 2w² - 5w

A = 2(10)² - 5(10)

A = 200 - 50

A = 150 sq.cm

Hence the required area is 150 sq.cm
