36= l(w+4) Wrong equation
\n" ); document.write( "--------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "L=W+4
\n" ); document.write( "36=2L+2W iS THE PERIMETER FORMULA.
\n" ); document.write( "36=2(W+4)+2W
\n" ); document.write( "36=2W+8+2W
\n" ); document.write( "36=4W+8
\n" ); document.write( "4W=36-8
\n" ); document.write( "4W=28
\n" ); document.write( "W=28/4
\n" ); document.write( "W=7 ans. for the width.
\n" ); document.write( "L=7+4=11 ans. for the length.
\n" ); document.write( "Proof:
\n" ); document.write( "36=2*11+2*7
\n" ); document.write( "36=22+14
\n" ); document.write( "36=36
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
