First we can say the width of the classroom is x. Since the length is twice as long in width, the length is 2x.
The formula of a rectangular's area is Area= Length * Width. We know that the area of the floor is 1800 square feet.
Therefore, 1800 = 2x * x, 1800 = 2*(x^2), x^2 = 900 and x= sqrt(900) =30. Now we know x= 30 and we set the width of the classroom is x. So, the width of the floor is 30 feet.
