document.write( "the area of a rectangle is 36 ft^2 the perimeter is 26' 
\n" );
document.write( "  2*L + 2*W = 26'  OR L = 13-W
\n" );
document.write( "  W(13-W) = 36FT^2
\n" );
document.write( "  W^2-13W + 36 = 0
\n" );
document.write( "FACTORING
\n" );
document.write( " (W-9)(W-4) = 0  
\n" );
document.write( " (W-9)=0
\n" );
document.write( " (W-4)= 0  W=4' and L=9' \n" );
