The length of a rectangular field is 45 ft greater than its width. How much fencing is needed to enclose the field and divide it into two parts?
\n" ); document.write( "------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Let the width be \"W\".
\n" ); document.write( "Then Length = W+45
\n" ); document.write( "---------------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Draw a picture and label the line segments.
\n" ); document.write( "Two Solutions:
\n" ); document.write( "3(W+45)+ 2w = 3W+135+2W = 5W+135 ft
\n" ); document.write( "----
\n" ); document.write( "OR
\n" ); document.write( "3(W)+2(W+45) = 3W+2W+90 = 5W+90 ft
\n" ); document.write( "=======================================
\n" ); document.write( "The anwer depends on where you put the dividing side.
\n" ); document.write( "=========================================
