document.write( "Let x and (2x+8m) represent width and length respectively
\n" );
document.write( "   x(2x+8m) = 188m
\n" );
document.write( "   2x^2 + 8x - 188 = 0
\n" );
document.write( "   x^2 + 4x - 94 = 0

\n" );
document.write( "   x =  7.9m, the width. Length is 23.8m      Note: 7.9*23.8 = 188 (to neaarest whole number)
