LENGTH=4W+20
\n" ); document.write( "WIDTH=W
\n" ); document.write( "2L+2W=280
\n" ); document.write( "2(4W+20)+2W=280
\n" ); document.write( "8W+40+2W=280
\n" ); document.write( "10W=280-40
\n" ); document.write( "10W=240
\n" ); document.write( "W=240/10
\n" ); document.write( "W=24 ANSWER FOR THE WIDTH.
\n" ); document.write( "L=4*24+20
\n" ); document.write( "L=96+20=116 ANSWER FOR THE LENGTH.
\n" ); document.write( "PROOF
\n" ); document.write( "2*24+2*116=280
\n" ); document.write( "48+232=280
\n" ); document.write( "280=280\r
