An interesting problem providing the sqrt(10) factor.
Do you know that "rectangle" is a Matlab function???????????????????????????????????
The function name 'rectangle' is duplicated with the built-in function. Cannot execute the test trial.
There was no correct solution since October, 12th, due to a defect in the test.
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
pretty interesting
good problem!
might be some confusion as to which dimension is width and length between the problem statement and the test suite?
