The width of rectangle is 2 units.

What is Area of Triangle?

Area of Triangle is the product of half of the ( base * height).

Area= 1/2 *b *h

Given that:

Height of Triangle = 2 units, Base of triangle= 5 units

Length of rectangle= 5 units

Area of Triangle= 1/2 * b * h

Now, According to question:

Area of Triangle = 1/2(area of rectangle)

1/2 * b * h =1/2( length *  breadth)

5 * 2= 5 *  breadth

breadth = 2 units

Hence the width of rectangle is 2 units.
