<h3>The length of longer piece is 30 inches</h3>
<em><u>Solution:</u></em>
Let "x" be the length of longer piece
Let "y" be the length of shorter piece
<em><u>The length of a board is 55 inches</u></em>
Therefore,
x + y = 55 -------- eqn 1
<em><u>The board needs to be cut into 2 pieces with one piece 5 inches longer than the other piece</u></em>
Therefore,
x = 5 + y ------- eqn 2
Substitute eqn 2 in eqn 1
5 + y + y = 55
2y = 55 - 5
2y = 50
<h3>y = 25</h3>
Substitute y = 25 in eqn 1
x + 25 = 55
x = 55 - 25
<h3>x = 30</h3>
Thus the length of longer piece is 30 inches

Answer:
answer is 75 square feet
Step-by-step explanation:
area is length time width
8×6=48
to find area of triangle is length time witdht/height divided by 2
6×4=24/2=12
5×6=30/2=15
15+12+48=75
