Area is defined as L*W
\n" ); document.write( "so factor the area that is represented by the trinomial
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+6a%5E2%2B7a%2B2+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+%283a%2B2%29%282a%2B1%29+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Perimiter is defined as 2(L+W)
\n" ); document.write( "so plug in the L and W that you factored
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+2%28L%2BW%29=P+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+2%28%283a%2B2%29%2B%282a%2B1%29%29=P+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Add the terms in the parenthesis
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+2%285a%2B3%29=P+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Distribute
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+10a+%2B+6+=+P+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Without a value for a ... you are finished \n" ); document.write( "
