Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Width = x

Length = 2x

Area of the ground = 0.125 square mile

length * width = 0.125

 2x * x = 0.125

     2x² = 0.125

       x² = [tex]\frac{0.125}{2}\\\\[/tex]

            = 0.0625

       [tex]x^{2}=\frac{625}{10000}\\\\x=\sqrt{\frac{625}{10000}}\\\\ x=\frac{25}{100}\\\\x=0.25[/tex]

Width = 0.25 miles

Length = 2* 0.25 = 0.50 miles
