\n" );
document.write( "Hi
\n" );
document.write( "Let x represent the width. Then 2x would represent the length.
\n" );
document.write( "x + x + 2x +2x = 48m
\n" );
document.write( "6x = 48m
\n" );
document.write( "x = 8m is the width, 16m is the length\r
\n" );
document.write( "\n" );
document.write( "checking our answer
\n" );
document.write( "2*8m + 2*16m = 16m + 32m = 48m
\n" );
document.write( "answer b would be the correct choice
\n" );
document.write( " \n" );
document.write( "

\n" );
