\r\n" );
document.write( "In a square the length and the width are the same so the fraction (ratio):\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( " is exactly 1.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "The closer to a square a rectangle is, the closer the fraction (ratio)  is to 1.  And we can tell by changing the\r\n" );
document.write( "fraction to a decimal.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "In the case of 4 x 5,\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );

document.write( "So the closest to 1 is .888888889 or the 8 x 9 rectangle.\r\n" );
