Let the length=a, and width=b, then, by the condition of the problem:
\n" ); document.write( "a = b+5
\n" ); document.write( "P = 2(a+b)\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "a = b+5
\n" ); document.write( "82 = 2*(a+b)\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "a = b+5
\n" ); document.write( "82 = 2* (b+5+b)\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "a = b+5
\n" ); document.write( "82 = 4b + 10
\n" ); document.write( "b = 18 => a=18+5=23\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So, length= 23m\r
