W=L/2+1
\n" ); document.write( "2L+2W=26
\n" ); document.write( "2L+2(L/2+1)=26
\n" ); document.write( "2L+L+2=26
\n" ); document.write( "3L=26-2
\n" ); document.write( "3L=24
\n" ); document.write( "L=24/3
\n" ); document.write( "L=8 ANS. FOR THE LENGTH.
\n" ); document.write( "W=8/2+1=4+1=5 ANS. FOR THE WIDTH.
\n" ); document.write( "PROOF:
