Answer:

The correct answer is the length is 10 feet and width is 2 feet respectively.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let length of the rectangular floor of Louis' basement be l feet and width be \frac{l}{5} feet respectively.

Area of the basement floor is given to be 500 square feet.

Therefore according to the given problem,

l × \frac{l}{5}  = 500

⇒ l^{2} = 100

⇒ l = 10 ; [length cannot be negative]

⇒ b = 2

Thus the length and width be 10 feet and 2 feet respectively.

How do I rotate a figure 90 degrees clockwise
cricket20 [7]

Step-by-step explanation:

You have to have tracing paper or patty paper (cause that's what my teacher uses). Next you draw the figure along with the x and y-axis on it as well. Then you mark the x and y-axis and rotate the paper 90 degrees clockwise. Lastly if the x-axis is on the y-axis, mark it as the y-axis and if the y-axis is on the x-axis, also mark it as the x-axis.

I hope this helped :)
