    The formula for the area of any rectangle is:

    Area=Length x Width

    750=y (y-5)

    750=y square-5y

    Rotate this equation.

    y square-5y=750

    y square-5y=750

    Let's factorize:

    y (y-5) = 750

    Two potentially true values of y can be y=750 or y=750-5=745

    y=745 ft. Answer.
