Answer:

Width = 80 ft and length = 85 ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the width be x ft then the length is x+5 ft.

width * length = area, so

x * (x + 5) = 6800

x^2 + 5x - 6800 = 0

( x - 80)(x + 85) = 0

x = 80, -85

We ignore the negative so x = 80 ft.

Width = 80 and length = 80+5 = 85 ft.
