W=L/2
\n" ); document.write( "2L+2W=24
\n" ); document.write( "2L+2(L/2)=24
\n" ); document.write( "2L+L=24
\n" ); document.write( "3L=24
\n" ); document.write( "L=24/3
\n" ); document.write( "L=8 IN. IS THE LENGTH.
\n" ); document.write( "W=8/2
\n" ); document.write( "W=4 IN. IS THE WIDTH.
\n" ); document.write( "PROOF:
\n" ); document.write( "2*8+2*4=24
\n" ); document.write( "16+8
\n" ); document.write( "24
