\n" ); document.write( "**
\n" ); document.write( "let x=length
\n" ); document.write( "let y=width
\n" ); document.write( "2x+2y=55
\n" ); document.write( "x/y=3/2
\n" ); document.write( "3y=2x
\n" ); document.write( "y=2x/3
\n" ); document.write( "..
\n" ); document.write( "2x+2(2x/3)=55
\n" ); document.write( "2x+4x/3=55
\n" ); document.write( "6x+4x=165
\n" ); document.write( "10x=165
\n" ); document.write( "x=16.5
\n" ); document.write( "y=2*16.5/3=11
