You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Let's let L represent the length and W represent the width:
We know that L=2W(Equation (1)) from the problem.
We also know that Area=L%2AW
Substituting our equation (1) and given area information into this we get:
2W%2AW%3C50
2W%5E2%3C50

You can solve for W in this, I will leave that up to you, if you have any questions about it please let me know:)
Have a good one!
