\n" ); document.write( "Similar to Boyle's LAw in Physics wher Pressure is inversely proportional to Volume, we can also conlude a formula accdg. to the square footage of a rectangle to the above problem:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"L%5B1%5DW%5B1%5D=L%5B2%5DW%5B2%5D\"$
\n" ); document.write( "where,
\n" ); document.write( " $\"L%5B1%5D=30ft\"$ , $\"W%5B1%5D=28ft\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"L%5B2%5D=x\"$ , $\"W%5B2%5D=45ft\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Substituting,
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%2830ft%29%2828ft%29=L%5B2%5D%2845ft%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"840ft%5E2=L%5B2%5D%2845ft%29\"$ ---> $\"cross%28840ft%5E2%2918.67ft%2Fcross%2845ft%29=L%5B2%5D%2Across%2845ft%29%2Fcross%2845ft%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"L%5B2%5D=18.67ft\"$ ANSWER. The length decreases as the Width becomes bigger --> inversely proportional.
