The perimeter of a rectangle is,
\n" ); document.write( " $\"P=2L%2B2W=27\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"L=1.8W\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Substitute,
\n" ); document.write( " $\"2%281.8W%29%2B2W=27\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"3.6W%2B2W=27\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"5.6W=27\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%2828%2F5%29W=27\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"W=27%285%2F28%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"W=135%2F28\"$ m
\n" ); document.write( "Then from above,
\n" ); document.write( " $\"L=1.8W=%289%2F5%29W=%289%2F5%29%28135%2F28%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"L=243%2F28\"$ m \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
