MathCad is solving incorrectly?

I am re-creating the appendix C of calculations to size a flare system, however I can't seem to get MathCad to correctly solve for my variable. I've swapped out units and values but I still don't get the correct answer.

I have uploaded the output from MathCad

However, the answer I am supposed to get is d=0.468 m. Not too sure how to make mathcad only give me the positive answer though.

Do you know why the second formula must be divided by two?
Author of the first Formula is onegreat scientist - Einstein (see above).
The authorship of the second formula is credited to two great scientists - Newton and Leibniz. Therefore, the second formula was divided by two, so that nobody was hurt.
