The question asks to find the dimensions of a rectangle similar to 4\" by 10\" but with 3 times the area.
\n" ); document.write( "------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "There are several ways to do this, but the simplest is to use the fact that area is a function of the square of the dimensions.
\n" ); document.write( "2x the dims --> 4 times the area, 3x --> 9 times, etc
\n" ); document.write( "Or, 4x the area --> sqrt(4) times the dims, 25x area --> 5 times the dims
\n" ); document.write( "3x the area --> sqrt(3) times the dimensions.
\n" ); document.write( "--------------
\n" ); document.write( "\"4sqrt%283%29+x+10sqrt%283%29\"
