A garden plot is to contain 200 sq. ft.
\n" ); document.write( " If its length is to be twice its width, what should be its dimension?
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "let x = the width
\n" ); document.write( "then
\n" ); document.write( "2x = the length
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "The area
\n" ); document.write( "2x * x = 200
\n" ); document.write( "2x^2 = 200
\n" ); document.write( "divide both sides by 2,results:
\n" ); document.write( "x^2 = 100
\n" ); document.write( "x = \"sqrt%28100%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "x = 10 ft is the width
\n" ); document.write( "2(10) = 20 ft is the length
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "check: 20 * 10 = 200 \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
