Do you just like asking the same thing over and over? I already gave you the complete answer to this.

Ok. Let's call the length L and the width W.

L = 1.75 * W

Area = 2268 = L * W

2268 = (1.75 * W) * W

2268 = 1.75 * W^2
1296 = W^2
36 = W

L = 1.75 * 36 = 63

So, width = 36 and length = 63

x times 1.75x=2268

1.75x^2=2268

x^2=1296

x= 36

the width is 36

36 x 1.75= 63

the length is 63
