Answer:
6.5 ft wide by 8 ft long
Step-by-step explanation:
We can let x represent the width of the rectangle. Then the length is ...
L = 2x -5
and the area is ...
A = LW = (2x -5)(x) = 52
2x² -5x -52 = 0 . . . . . put in standard form
(2x -13)(x +4) = 0 . . . . factor
x = 6.5, -4 . . . . . . . . . . values that make the factors zero
The length is then ...
L = A/W = 52/6.5 = 8
or
L = 2W -5 = 2(6.5) -5 = 13 -5 = 8
The rectangle is 6.5 feet wide and 8 feet long.

Answer:
According to the passage, we have the next equation:
where "K" is a proportional constant
Leaving at the end with the next equation:
Integrating the equation, we have:
where "C" is a constant
Then, we have the 2 conditions for the problem:
1) t=0 → r=10
Replacing in the equation, we have C = 10
2) t=5 → r=8
Replacing in the equation, we have K = -0.4
Finally, the time which the snowball will be completely melted will be when r = 0. So replacing in the equation
t = 25 minutes
