You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Let L = Length,,,,,W= Width
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Area = A = L*W,,,,,but L= 2W + 1
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "A= ( 2W+1) (W) = 2w^2 +W,,,,,and A= 55
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "2W^2 +W - 55 = 0,,,,,factor
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "(2W +11)(W-5) =0
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "2w+11=0,,,,W=-11/2,,,not realistic
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "W-5 =0,,,,W=5 and L= 2*5 +1 =11
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "check,,,,,,LW= 5*11=55,,,,,ok
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "2*5 +1 =11,,,,,,ok
\n" ); document.write( ".\r
