W=width; L=length=2W;
\n" ); document.write( "\"area=L%2AW\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"50yd%5E2=L%2AW\" Substitute for L.
\n" ); document.write( "\"50yd%5E2=2W%2AW\" Divide each side by 2.
\n" ); document.write( "\"25yd%5E2=W%5E2\" Find the square root of each side.
\n" ); document.write( "\"5yd=W\" The width is 5 yards.
\n" ); document.write( "L=2W=2(5yd)=10yd ANSWER: The length is 10 yards. The first answer is correct.\r
