document.write( "Question 193341: The area of a rectangle is twice the area of a square. If the length of a rectangle is 10 inches, and if the width of the rectangle is the same as the length of a side of the square, find the dimensions of both the rectangle and the square. (Hint, draw a picture of both the rectangle and the square.)\r

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
draw a rough sketch of rectangle(10XS) and a square (SXS)
\n" ); document.write( "note Ar=2As
\n" ); document.write( "10s=2s^2
\n" ); document.write( "0=2s^2-10s
\n" ); document.write( "0=(2s)(s-5)
\n" ); document.write( "2s=s, s=0,,,,,trivial answer
\n" ); document.write( "s-5=0,,,,s=5\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "check
\n" ); document.write( "10*5=50=2*5^2=50 ,,,,ok
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
