You can put this solution on YOUR website!
TO FIND THE PERIMETER: DRAW A RECTANGLE FIRST, SINCE YOU HAVE 2 SIDES OF LENGTH AND 2 SIDES OF WIDTH. \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "THE PERIMETER FORMULA FOR RECTANGLE IS: P=2L+2w\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "SINCE WE KNOW THE THE WIDTH OF THE RECTALGLE WHICH IS 24 LESS THAN THE LENGHT, WE CAN WRITE THE WIDTH EXPRESSION AS: W=L-24\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "NOW SUBSTITUTE THE WIDTH EQUATION TO THE PERIMETER FORMULA TO FIND THE PERIMETER OF THE POLYNOMIALS: P=2L+2W
\n" ); document.write( " P=2L+(L-24)
\n" ); document.write( " P=3L-24\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "THE AREA OF THE RECTANGLE IS : A=L(W)
\n" ); document.write( " A=44(44-24)=44(20)
\n" ); document.write( " A=880FEET
\n" ); document.write( "
