The width of the floor can be found by setting up the equation: Length = 4 * Width - 5. Substituting the given length (35 meters) into the equation gives 35 = 4 * Width - 5. Solving for Width, we add 5 to both sides to get 40 = 4 * Width, and then divide both sides by 4 to find that Width = 10 meters.

The Length of a Rectangular Floor Is 35 Meters
