Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

let the width = w

w = w

L = 4 + w

Area = 4*w + 25 = L * w

4w + 25 = L * w                  Substitute for the length

4w + 25 = (w*(w + 4))

4w + 25 = w^2 + 4w          Subtract 4w from each side

w^2 = 25                            Take the square root.

w = +/- 5

- 5 has no meaning.

w = 5
