Hi!
\n" ); document.write( "Okay, suppose the width here is x, so the length would be 4x.
\n" ); document.write( "x*4x=16
\n" ); document.write( "4x^2=16
\n" ); document.write( "x^2=4
\n" ); document.write( "x=2\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Width=2 Length=8\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Recheck
\n" ); document.write( "2*4(2)=16
\n" ); document.write( "2*8=16
\n" ); document.write( "16=16 :)
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
