Denote the width as X, then the length would be 2X.
The area of the tart is
S = 2X2 = 72
then
X2 = 36
X = 6.
The width is 6 inches, the length is 12 inches.

Thanks you so much! I would have never figured this out! My son is in 5th grade and I've been out of school for way to long! Thanks again! Carla
