You can put this solution on YOUR website!
w=width of the page, L=Length of the page.
\n" ); document.write( "L=2w
\n" ); document.write( "width of print = w-4 because of margins.
\n" ); document.write( "Length of print = 2w-4
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "(w-4)(2w-4)=80
\n" ); document.write( "2w^2-12w+16=80
\n" ); document.write( "w^2-6w+8=40 divide each side by 2.
\n" ); document.write( "w^2-6w-32=0
\n" ); document.write( "w=9.4\"
\n" ); document.write( "L=18.8\"
