xy=169
\n" ); document.write( "x=length y=width
\n" ); document.write( "y=169/x
\n" ); document.write( "Perimeter:2x+2y=P
\n" ); document.write( " $\"2x-2%28169%2Fx%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"2x-338%2Fx\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"2x%5E2-338\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x%5E2-169\"$
\n" ); document.write( "x=13
\n" ); document.write( "y=13
\n" ); document.write( "so 2(13)+2(13)=52
