L=2W+200
\n" ); document.write( "W(2W+200)=40,000
\n" ); document.write( "2W^2+200W-40,000=0
\n" ); document.write( "2(W^2+100W-20,000)=0
\n" ); document.write( "2(W+200)(W-100)=0
\n" ); document.write( "W-100=0
\n" ); document.write( "W=100 ANSWER FOR THE WIDTH.
\n" ); document.write( "L=2*100+200
\n" ); document.write( "L=200+200
\n" ); document.write( "L=400 ANSWER FOR THE LENGTH.
