Explanation:

Given the information:

  • 1st square: 12 square units
  • 2nd square: DOUBLE that of the first square = 2*12 = 24 square units

From that, we can determine the length of the side in each square:

1/
x^(2) = 12

<=> x = 2
√(3)

2/
a^(2) = 24

<=> a = 2
√(6)

Please have a look at the attached photo.

Hope it will find you well.
