We have W = (1/4)L
\n" ); document.write( "The area A = LW = 130.
\n" ); document.write( "Substituting we have
\n" ); document.write( "L((1/4)L) = 130
\n" ); document.write( "(1/4)L^2 = 130
\n" ); document.write( "L^2 = 520
\n" ); document.write( "and
\n" ); document.write( "L = sqrt(520) = 2(sqrt(130))
\n" ); document.write( "Since W = (1/4)L, we have
\n" ); document.write( "W = L/4 = (1/2)sqrt(130)
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
