Let \"+s+\" = a side of the original square pasture
\n" ); document.write( "Let \"+A+\" = the area of the original square pasture
\n" ); document.write( "---------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "\"+s+=+200%2F4+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+s+=+50+\" ft
\n" ); document.write( "\"+A+=+s%5E2+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+A+=+50%5E2+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+A+=+2500+\"
\n" ); document.write( "----------------------
\n" ); document.write( "\"+2A+=+2%2A2500+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+2A+=+5000+\"
\n" ); document.write( "Let \"+s%5B1%5D+\" = a side of the new square pasture
\n" ); document.write( "\"+s%5B1%5D%5E2+=+5000+\"
\n" ); document.write( "Take the square root of both sides
\n" ); document.write( "\"+s%5B1%5D+=+70.711+\"
\n" ); document.write( "70.711 ft
\n" ); document.write( "check the math & get a 2nd opinion if needed
\n" ); document.write( "
