L: Length ---> L=W+1
\n" ); document.write( "W: Width\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "P=2L+2W ----> 70=2(W+1)+2W\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "70=2W+2+2W
\n" ); document.write( "70=4W+2
\n" ); document.write( "68=4W
\n" ); document.write( "W=68/4
\n" ); document.write( "W=17 <------------ Width is 17
\n" ); document.write( "L=W+1=17+1=18 <--- Length is 18
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
