Let x be the length.
\n" ); document.write( "Then its width 4x
\n" ); document.write( "So the perimeter in terms of x is 2(x + 4x)
\n" ); document.write( "Setting it equal to 80, we have
\n" ); document.write( "2(x + 4x) = 80
\n" ); document.write( "Solving for x, we have
\n" ); document.write( "2*5x = 80
\n" ); document.write( "10x = 80
\n" ); document.write( "x = 8
\n" ); document.write( "Therefore the length is 8
\n" ); document.write( "the width is 4x = 4*8 = 32
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
