You can put this solution on YOUR website!
2 times the length + 2 times the width = 39 meters\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Let L = 'length'
\n" ); document.write( "Let W = 'width'\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "we can now model the problem as:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "2L + 2W = 39\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "from the problem statement we know that L = 2W so,\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "2(2W) + 2W = 39, which is the same as saying\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "4W + 2W = 39, which is the same as saying\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "6W = 39\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "W = 39/6\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "W = 6.5 meters and since L = 2W,
\n" ); document.write( "L = 13 meters\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
