sqrt%28250%29 is the full length is cut into 2 pieces at a 3%3A2
ratio says one piece is %283%2F5%29 and the other is %282%2F5%29 of the full
length

then, longer piece will be:

%283%2F5%29%2Asqrt%28250%29
%283%2F5%29%2Asqrt%2825%2A10%29
%283%2F5%29%2Asqrt%2825%29%2Asqrt%2810%29
%283%2F5%29%2A5%2Asqrt%2810%29
+3%2Asqrt%2810%29
