\n" ); document.write( "Since the don't indicate otherwise, I assume the picture is a square.
\n" ); document.write( "Let s = one side of the square frame
\n" ); document.write( "then
\n" ); document.write( "4s = 70
\n" ); document.write( "s = \"70%2F4\"
\n" ); document.write( "s = 17.5; one side of the frame
\n" ); document.write( ":
