Hi there,
\n" ); document.write( "Ratio = 1 : 3
\n" ); document.write( "Ratio = x : 3x
\n" ); document.write( "x * 3x = 192
\n" ); document.write( "3x^2 = 192
\n" ); document.write( "x^2 = 192/3
\n" ); document.write( "x^2 = 64
\n" ); document.write( "x = +/- 8
\n" ); document.write( "Cannot use a negative value
\n" ); document.write( "so, x = 8 and 3x = 24
\n" ); document.write( "Length and width = 8 yds x 24 yds
\n" ); document.write( "or width and length = 8 yds x 24 yds.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Hope this helps. :-)
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
