The perimeter of a rectangle is,
\n" ); document.write( " $\"P=2L%2B2W=48\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"L%2BW=24\"$
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "The area of a rectangle is,
\n" ); document.write( " $\"A=L%2AW\"$
\n" ); document.write( "From the perimeter equation,
\n" ); document.write( " $\"L=24-W\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Substituting,
\n" ); document.write( " $\"A=%2824-W%29W\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"highlight%28A=24W-W%5E2%29\"$ \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
