L=W+30
\n" ); document.write( "2L+2W=240
\n" ); document.write( "2(W+30)+2W=240
\n" ); document.write( "2W+60+2W=240
\n" ); document.write( "4W=240-60
\n" ); document.write( "4W=180
\n" ); document.write( "W=180/4
\n" ); document.write( "W=45 ANS. FOR THE WIDTH.
\n" ); document.write( "L=45+30
\n" ); document.write( "L=75 ANS. FOR THE LENGTH.
\n" ); document.write( "PROOF:
\n" ); document.write( "2*45+2*75=240
