You can put this solution on YOUR website!
The perimeter of a rectangle= 2w+2l where w is the width & l is the length.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Here, width is length less 5 ft.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "or w=l-5\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "hence replacing w by l-5 we get P= 2(l-5)+2l=50\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "or 50= 2l -10+2l
\n" ); document.write( "or 50=4l-10
\n" ); document.write( "or 60=4l
\n" ); document.write( "or l=60/4
\n" ); document.write( "or l=15\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "hence length is 15 ft & width is 10 ft
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
