A rectangular courtyard with whole-number dimensions has an area of 60 square meters. Find the
length of the courtyard.
(1) The width is two more than twice the length.
(2) The length of the diagonal of the courtyard is 13 meters.
I know 1 works, but how can 2 also be true as you can reverse the length and the width, right? So the length could be 5 or 14. I don't understand.....
