Alice’s backyard is a rectangular piece of property that is twice as long as it is wide. The total area of her yard is 1,000 m2. What is the approximate width of her backyard?A = lw

Let the width be w, so the length is 2w. Using A = lw gives 1,000 = 2w², so w² = 500 and w = √500 ≈ 22.4 m. The approximate width is 22.4 m, choice C.
