The area of a rectangle = length x width so:
A = <em>l </em>x w

if we know the area of the playground is 20 sq yards, then:

20 = <em>l x </em>w

if the length is 5 times the width, then:
<em>l = 5w
</em>
We can combine these equations by substituting this <em>" l </em>" into the first equation:

20 = 5w x w

Now solve!

20 = 5w x w
combine the w's
20 = 5w²
divide both sides by 5
4 = w²
square root both sides
2 = w

The width of the playground is 2 yards. 

To find the length of the playground, you can plug that back into the equation
<em>l = </em>5w <em>
</em><em>l </em>= 5(2)
<em /><em>l = </em>10
<em>
</em>The length of the playground is 10 yards.<em>

Most animals are producers, meaning they are able to create their own food from inorganic sources.
skad [1K]
<span>This is false since plants are mostly producers and animals are mostly consumers. There is however a group of animals that are autotrophs and create their own food, but they are vastly outnumbered by consumers. The ones that produce their own are mostly within the family of funghi or similar things that border on whether they're animals or plants.</span>

e-lub [12.9K]
The function of the limb is to help them get around and move. They might be similar in the way they’re structured? I don’t have a picture so I can’t tell. And you can assume that at one point these four animals all shared a common ancestor. Hope I helped!
