Answer: 5 feet.
Step-by-step explanation:
The area of a rectangle can be calculated with the following formula:
[tex]A=lw[/tex]
Where "l" is the length and "w" is the width.
In this case you know that the area of the kitchen is 6 times as many square feet as Jason’s pantry, then, the length of the pantry can be represented as:
[tex]A=\frac{60\ ft^2}{6}\\\\A=10\ ft^2[/tex]
Since:
[tex]w=2\ ft[/tex]
You can substitute the known values into the formula and solve for "l" in order to calculate its value.
You get that this is:
[tex]10\ ft^2=(2\ ft)(l)\\\\\frac{10\ ft^2}{2\ ft} =l\\\\l=5\ ft[/tex]
