W=width=base; H=height=0.75W; A=area=216m^2
\n" ); document.write( "\"WH=A\" Substitute for H.
\n" ); document.write( "\"W%280.75W%29=A\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"0.75W%5E2=A\" Put in value for A.
\n" ); document.write( "\"0.75W%5E2=216m%5E2\" Divide each side by 0.75.
\n" ); document.write( "\"W%5E2=288m%5E2\" Find the square root of each side.
\n" ); document.write( "\"W=16.97m\" ANSWER 1: The width is 16.97 meters.
\n" ); document.write( "\"H=0.75W\"=\"0.75%2816.97m%29=12.73m\" ANSWER 2: The height is 12.73 meters.
\n" ); document.write( "CHECK:
\n" ); document.write( "\"A=WH\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"216m%5E2=%2816.97m%29%2812.73m%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"216m%5E2=216m%5E2\"
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
