Yes, the perimeter of a rectangle is
\n" ); document.write( " $\"P=2L%2B2W\"$
\n" ); document.write( "and
\n" ); document.write( " $\"A=L%2AW\"$
\n" ); document.write( "If the perimeter increase, either L or W or both increase.
\n" ); document.write( "If that happens, then $\"A\"$ will increase since it's a function of both $\"L\"$ and $\"W\"$ .
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
