Perimeter = 2L + 2W = 156.
\n" ); document.write( "\"2L+%2B+2W+%2B+156\"
\n" ); document.write( "divide by 2 and we get
\n" ); document.write( "\"L+%2B+W+=+78\"
\n" ); document.write( "L = 2W
\n" ); document.write( "By substitution, we get
\n" ); document.write( "\"2W+%2B+W+=+78\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"3W+=+78\"
\n" ); document.write( "W = 26 meters
\n" ); document.write( "L = 52 meters
\n" ); document.write( "
