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( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
