Scientific notation, also called pattern or notation in exponential form, is a way of writing numbers that accommodate values too large (100000000000) or small (0.00000000001) to be written in a conventional manner.

 The use of this notation is based on powers of 104
 Example:
 Big numbers:
 100000000000 = 1 * 10 ^ {11}

 Small numbers:
 0.00000000001 = 1 * 10 ^{-11}

 However, in areas such as physics and chemistry, scientific notation is important to make approximations such as:
 mass of a proton
 mass of an electron and others.

1*72  2*36  3*24  4*16  6*12  8*9

If you look, you can see that in only one pair the length is twice the width.

So your answer is

W=6

L=12
