Let

represent the width. Then

is the length (if you are using 1.6 as an approximation of the golden ratio). The area is the length times the width, so the area as a function of the width is given by:

Substitute the given value for the area:

And solve for

to get the width in meters. Multiply your result for the width times 1.6 to get the length.
