L=3W
\n" ); document.write( "AREA=LW
\n" ); document.write( "48=3W*W
\n" ); document.write( "3W^2=48
\n" ); document.write( "W^2=48/3
\n" ); document.write( "W^2=16
\n" ); document.write( "W=SQRT(16)
\n" ); document.write( "W=4 ANS. FOR THE WIDTH.
\n" ); document.write( "L=3*4=12 ANS. FOR THE LENGTH.
\n" ); document.write( "PROOF:
\n" ); document.write( "48=4*12
