    Area. = length x height

    Let x = Length

    The height is 1/2x

    800 = x * 1/2x

    Simplify:

    800 = 1/2x^2

    Multiply both sides by 2:

    1600 = x^2

    Take the square root of both sides:

    X = sqrt (1600)

    X = 40

    1/2x = 20

    Length = 40 feet

    Height = 20 feet
