The expression can be simplified as:
b-8
It doesn't have to be called width
So just use the formula.
A=h×w
A=2×8.5
A=17
The area of the rectangle is 17 meters
The GCF (Greatest Common Factor) of 25 and 65 is 5. So, we can divide both numbers by 5.
25 / 5 = 5
65 / 5 = 13
Now, put it into a fraction.
5/13
This cannot be simplified any further.
Best of Luck!
