Knowing the ratio between the dimensions but not knowing either dimension exactly means, the dimensions are unknown factors of some value, x.
\n" ); document.write( "4x is one dimension and 7x the other dimension.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"2%284x%2B7x%29=154\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"2%2811x%29=154\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"11x=77\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"x=77%2F11\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"x=7\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "THAT is the factor to use.
\n" ); document.write( "\"4%2A7\" is one dimension and \"7%2A7\" is the other dimension.
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
