L=W+4
\n" ); document.write( "2L+2W=20
\n" ); document.write( "2(W+4)+2W=20
\n" ); document.write( "2W+8+2W=20
\n" ); document.write( "4W=20-8
\n" ); document.write( "4W=12
\n" ); document.write( "W=12/4
\n" ); document.write( "W=3 ANS. FOR THE WIDTH.
\n" ); document.write( "L=3+4=7 ANS. FOR THE LENGTH.
\n" ); document.write( "PROOF:
\n" ); document.write( "2*7+2*3=20
\n" ); document.write( "14+6=20
\n" ); document.write( "20=20
