Gary has 1002 meters of fencing. He will use all the fencing to enclose a rectangular region that is four times as long as it is wide.
\n" ); document.write( "One of the longer sides is bordered by a river, so that side will not be fenced.
\n" ); document.write( "What will be the dimensions of the region?
\n" ); document.write( "----------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Draw the figure and lable the width \"x\" and the length \"4x\".
\n" ); document.write( "EQUATION:
\n" ); document.write( "1002 = 4x + x + x
\n" ); document.write( "6x = 1002
\n" ); document.write( "x = 167 meters (width of the enclosure)
\n" ); document.write( "4x = 668 meters (length of the enclosure)
