Hi
\n" ); document.write( "*Note: Area of a rectangle is l*w
\n" ); document.write( "Let l represent the length. Question states w = 2*l
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "\"l%2A%282%2Al%29+=+162%2Am%5E2\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"2%2Al%5E2+=+162%2Am%5E2\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"l%5E2+=+81%2Am%5E2\"
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "\"l=root%282%2C81%29\" = +-9 (Not able to use the -9 for length)
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "l = 9m
\n" ); document.write( "w = 18m (w=2*l)
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "check your answer
\n" ); document.write( "\"9m%2A18m+=+162m%5E2\"
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
