I need help figuring the length and width of a rectangle. I know the area is 512 meters. I know one side is twice as long as the other side.
\n" ); document.write( "--------------------
\n" ); document.write( "So it's s by 2s.
\n" ); document.write( "s*2s = 512 (area = length times width) btw, area is square meters.
\n" ); document.write( "\"2s%5E2+=+512\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"s%5E2+=+256\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"s+=+sqrt%28256%29+=+16\" Ignore the negative root, -16
\n" ); document.write( "It's 16 by 32 meters
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
