We have to start with formula of finding the Perimeter of Rectangle:
\n" ); document.write( "\"P=2%28L%2BW%29\" -----------> eqn 1
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Next, label the given:
\n" ); document.write( "W= unknown
\n" ); document.write( "L= W+14, right? (14 more)
\n" ); document.write( "P= 264 meters
\n" ); document.write( "Substituting in eqn 1,
\n" ); document.write( "264= 2(W+14+W)
\n" ); document.write( "264= 2(2W+14)=4W+28
\n" ); document.write( "\"W=%28264-28%29%2F4\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"W=59.meters\"
\n" ); document.write( "For L = 59+14
\n" ); document.write( "\"L=73.meters\"
\n" ); document.write( "In doubt? Go back eqn 1,
\n" ); document.write( "\"264=2%2873%2B59%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"264=2%28132%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"264=264\"
