An interesting problem providing the sqrt(10) factor.

Do you know that "rectangle" is a Matlab function???????????????????????????????????

Jaeho Seol on 18 Oct 2016

The function name 'rectangle' is duplicated with the built-in function. Cannot execute the test trial.

Milan Petrovic on 21 Oct 2016

There was no correct solution since October, 12th, due to a defect in the test.

Milan Petrovic on 24 Oct 2016

Thank you for renaming the function.
The test trials now can be executed correctly.

great problem

function [width, length] = findRectangleDimensions(x)
width =sqrt(x^2/10);
length = 3*width;
end

good problem!

Josh on 17 Jul 2023

might be some confusion as to which dimension is width and length between the problem statement and the test suite?
