Let
\n" ); document.write( "L = length
\n" ); document.write( "W = width
\n" ); document.write( "then
\n" ); document.write( "\"L=2W\"
\n" ); document.write( "so
\n" ); document.write( "\"A=L%2AW\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"228=%282W%29%2AW\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"228=2W%5E2\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"114=W%5E2\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"sqrt%28114%29=W\"
\n" ); document.write( "We don't care about the negative root because the width is positive. Thus
\n" ); document.write( "\"L=2sqrt%28114%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "The dimensions are approximately length 21.3542in by width 10.6771in.
