Problem
A circle of radius 5 is inscribed in a rectangle as shown. The ratio of the length of the rectangle to its width is 2:1. What is the area of the rectangle?
![[asy] draw((0,0)--(0,10)--(20,10)--(20,0)--cycle); draw(circle((10,5),5)); [/asy]](http://latex.artofproblemsolving.com/1/6/2/1627a134d8cbe234c9b8224ec84ebc3d479d85a8.png)
Solution
If the radius is 
, then the width is 
, hence the length is 
.
