You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Actually, there is no relationship between the base and the height of a rectangle. They are mutually exclusive elements!

\n" ); document.write( "Write an algebraic expression that shows the relationship between the base and the height FOR A GIVEN PERIMETER, P.
\n" ); document.write( "If this is so, then you can write:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"P+=+2b%2B2h\"$ ...and if you want this in terms of the base, b, then...
\n" ); document.write( " $\"b+=+%28P%2F2%29-h\"$ or, in terms of h...
\n" ); document.write( " $\"h+=+%28P%2F2%29-b\"$ \n" ); document.write( "
