\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Let w = width of rectangle
\n" ); document.write( "then from \"length is 5 inches longer than it's width\":
\n" ); document.write( "w+5 = length of rectangle
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Since area of any rectangle is width*length:
\n" ); document.write( "area = w(w+5)
\n" ); document.write( "area = w^2+5w
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
