You can put this solution on YOUR website! I need help figuring the length and width of a rectangle. I know the area is 512 meters. I know one side is twice as long as the other side.
--------------------
So it's s by 2s.
s*2s = 512 (area = length times width) btw, area is square meters. Ignore the negative root, -16
It's 16 by 32 meters
