width be x
\n" ); document.write( "length = 2x
\n" ); document.write( "Area = L*W
\n" ); document.write( "x*2x =8
\n" ); document.write( "2x^2=8
\n" ); document.write( "x^2= 8/2
\n" ); document.write( "x^2=4
\n" ); document.write( "x= sqrt 4
\n" ); document.write( "x=2 the width
\n" ); document.write( "length = 2x = 2*2 =4
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
