2L+2W=PERIMETER
\n" ); document.write( "L=W+4
\n" ); document.write( "2(W+4)+2W=62
\n" ); document.write( "2W+8+2W=62
\n" ); document.write( "4W=62-8
\n" ); document.write( "4W=54
\n" ); document.write( "W=54/4
\n" ); document.write( "W=13.5 in. IS THE WIDTH.
\n" ); document.write( "L=13.5+4=17.5 in. IS THE LENGTH.
\n" ); document.write( "PROOF:
\n" ); document.write( "2*17.5+2*13.5=62
\n" ); document.write( "35+27=62
\n" ); document.write( "62=62
\n" ); document.write( "
