w=width
\n" ); document.write( "l=length
\n" ); document.write( "w=l-8
\n" ); document.write( "A=lw
\n" ); document.write( "A=20
\n" ); document.write( "\"20=l%28l-8%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"20=l%5E2-8l\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"0=l%5E2-8l-20\"
\n" ); document.write( "you should see that +2 and -10 add to get -8 and multiply to get -20
\n" ); document.write( "\"0=%28l%2B2%29%28l-10%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"l=10\"
\n" ); document.write( " the length cant be negative
\n" ); document.write( "\"w=l-8\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"w=10-8\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"w=2\"\r
