The length of a rectangular garden is twice its breadth. A square playground measuring 600 m2 occupies one-third of the total area of the garden. The length of the garden in metres is:
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "If \"1%2F3\" = 600, the total will be 3*600 ft
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Let x = garden width
\n" ); document.write( "then
\n" ); document.write( "2x = garden length
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "The simple equation:
\n" ); document.write( "2x * x = 3(600)
\n" ); document.write( ";
\n" ); document.write( "2x^2 = 1800
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "x^2 = \"1800%2F2\"
\n" ); document.write( ";
\n" ); document.write( "x^2 = 900
\n" ); document.write( "x = \"sqrt%28900%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "x = 30 m is the width
\n" ); document.write( "then
\n" ); document.write( "60 m = the length\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
