\n" ); document.write( "164=2(W+20)+2W
\n" ); document.write( "164=2W+40+2W
\n" ); document.write( "164=4W+40
\n" ); document.write( "4W=164-40
\n" ); document.write( "4W=124
\n" ); document.write( "W=124/4
\n" ); document.write( "W=31 IN. ANS. FOR THE WIDTH.
\n" ); document.write( "L=31+20=51 IN. ANS. FOR THE LENGTH.
