Hi,
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Note: The best way to remember is that Area = l*w is in \"units+%5E2\"
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Rectangle 10in by 20in, Area would b \"10in%2A20in+=+200in%5E2\"
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Perimeter, on the other hand is a length: the length of the sum of its sides.
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "in our example:
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "P = 10in + 10in + 20in + 20in = 60in
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Generally (to shorten it up) the Perimeter for a rectangle is written as:
\n" ); document.write( "P = 2*l + 2*w = the perimeter
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
