If the perimeter of the field is 72m . Find it's area \n" ); document.write( "------------------ \n" ); document.write( "Equations from the narrative: \n" ); document.write( "L = 2W \n" ); document.write( "--- \n" ); document.write( "Perimeter = 2(L+W) = 72 \n" ); document.write( "L+W = 36 \n" ); document.write( "--- \n" ); document.write( "Substitute for \"L\" and solve for \"W\": \n" ); document.write( "2W+W = 36 \n" ); document.write( "W = 12 \n" ); document.write( "--- \n" ); document.write( "Since L = 2W, L = 6 \n" ); document.write( "----- \n" ); document.write( "Area = 6*12 = 72 sq meters \n" ); document.write( "====================== \n" ); document.write( "Cheers, \n" ); document.write( "Stan H. \n" ); document.write( "====================== \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
