    Length=11.18 ft

    Width=2.236 ft

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Step 1

    Express the dimensions of the rectangular flower Bed as shown;

    length=x

    width=1/5 of the length=1/5*x = (1/5) x

    Step 2

    Express the formula for calculating area;

    A=L*W

    where;

    L=length of the flower bed

    W=width of the flower bed

    In our case;

    A=25 ft²

    L=x

    W=1/5x

    replacing;

    (1/5x) * x=25

    (1/5) x²=25

    x²=25*5=125

    √x²=√125 ft²

    x=11.18 ft

    Length=11.18 ft

    Width = (1/5) * 11.18=2.236 ft
