The area of the rectangle is the length times the width, both of which you know. The area of the square is twice the area of the rectangle, so multiply the area you just calculated for the rectangle by 2 to get the area of the square. The measure of a side of a square is the square root of the area. Simplify, but leave your answer in radical form for the exact answer. Or let your calculator give you a numerical approximation.
