You can put this solution on YOUR website!
The perimeter of any rectangle is \"P+=+2L+%2B+2W\"
\n" ); document.write( "given:
\n" ); document.write( "Width = \"W\"
\n" ); document.write( "Length = \"W+%2B+13\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"P+=+80\"
\n" ); document.write( "----------
\n" ); document.write( "\"P+=+2%2A%28W+%2B+13%29+%2B+2W\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"P+=+2W+%2B+26+%2B+2W\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"80+=+4W+%2B+26\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"4W+=+54\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"W+=+13.5\"
\n" ); document.write( "and
\n" ); document.write( "\"L+=+13.5+%2B+13\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"L+=+26.5\"
\n" ); document.write( "The width is 13.5 m and the length is 26.5 m
\n" ); document.write( "check answer:
\n" ); document.write( "\"P+=+2%2A%28W+%2B+13%29+%2B+2W\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"80+=+2%2A%2813.5+%2B+13%29+%2B+2%2A13.5\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"80+=+2%2A26.5+%2B+27\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"80+=+53+%2B+27\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"80+=+80\"
\n" ); document.write( "OK
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
