\n" );
document.write( "Let width be W
\n" );
document.write( "Then length = 2W
\n" );
document.write( "Area = LW, and since area = 72 sq in, we get:
\n" );
document.write( "2W(W) = 72
\n" );
document.write( "
\n" );
document.write( "
\n" );
document.write( "
\n" );
document.write( "W, or width = , or  inches
\n" );
document.write( "Length: 2(6), or  inches \n" );
document.write( "

\n" );
