L=W+4
\n" ); document.write( "P=2L+2W
\n" ); document.write( "20=2(W+4)2W
\n" ); document.write( "20=2W+8+2W
\n" ); document.write( "20=4W+8
\n" ); document.write( "4W=20-8
\n" ); document.write( "4W=12
\n" ); document.write( "W=12/4
\n" ); document.write( "W=3 ANS. FOR THE WIDTH.
\n" ); document.write( "L=3+4=7 ANS. FOR THE LENGTH.
