\n" ); document.write( "For a rectangle to be a rectangle, both opposite sides must equal each other. The lengths are equal and the width are equal.
\n" ); document.write( "The perimeter for a rectangle is the total distance around the rectangle.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"P=L%2BW%2BL%2BW=2%28L%2BW%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( "For your case
\n" ); document.write( " $\"L=15\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"W=20\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"P=2%2815%2B20%29=2%2835%29=70\"$
\n" ); document.write( "The perimeter is 70 inches.
