The perimeter of some traffic signs must be 78 inches. Also, its length is 13 inches longer than its width. Find the dimensions of this sign.
\n" ); document.write( "The width of the sign in Inches:
\n" ); document.write( "The Length of the sign in Inches:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "-----------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Let width be \"W\"
\n" ); document.write( "Then length is \"W+13\"
\n" ); document.write( "---------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Perimeter = 2(length + width)
\n" ); document.write( "78 = 2(W+13 + W)
\n" ); document.write( "39 = 2W+13
\n" ); document.write( "2W = 26
\n" ); document.write( "W = 13\" (width)
\n" ); document.write( "W+13 = 26\" (length)
\n" ); document.write( "==============================
