\n" );
document.write( "Hi,
\n" );
document.write( "Let x represent the width and 5x, the length.
\n" );
document.write( "Perimeter = 84in
\n" );
document.write( "x + x + 5x + 5x = 84in
\n" );
document.write( "12x = 84in
\n" );
document.write( "x = 7in, the width.  Length is 35in
\n" );
document.write( "Area = l*w
\n" );
document.write( "A = 35in*7in = 245in^2, the area \n" );
document.write( "

\n" );
