Algebra.Com's Answer #287903 by Adrish(44) ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! SOLUTION: Let L be the length and W be the width of a rectangle.\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Given: L= 2W and Area= 722 yd square\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "We Know Area= L x W\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " 722 = 2W x W \n" ); document.write( " 722 = 2W^2 \n" ); document.write( " 722/2 = W^2 \n" ); document.write( " 361 = W^2 \n" ); document.write( " Width(W)= 19 Yard\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Therefore Length(L) = 2W \n" ); document.write( " = 2 x 19 \r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " =38 Yard \n" ); document.write( " |
