Denote the width as X, then the length would be 2X. The area of the tart is S = 2X2 = 72 then X2 = 36 X = 6. The width is 6 inches, the length is 12 inches.

Thanks you so much! I would have never figured this out! My son is in 5th grade and I've been out of school for way to long! Thanks again! Carla
