\"s%5E2%2B+s%5E2+=+140%5E2\"
\n" ); document.write( "==> \"2s%5E2+=+19600\"
\n" ); document.write( "<==> \"s%5E2+=+9800\"
\n" ); document.write( "==> \"s+=+70sqrt%282%29\" <---length of one side of the pen.
\n" ); document.write( "(This can also be gotten by simply dividing 140 by \"sqrt%282%29\".)\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Because \"A+=+s%5E2+=+9800\", the area of the pen is 9800 square meters.
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
