Length = l= 25 feet
\n" ); document.write( "Width = w=?
\n" ); document.write( "Perimeter = p = 76 feet
\n" ); document.write( "==============================
\n" ); document.write( "Perimeter of a Rectangle = length + length + width + width
\n" ); document.write( "Perimeter of a Rectangle =2 length +2 width
\n" ); document.write( "P = 2l +2 w
\n" ); document.write( "Put the values of p,l and w in above equation
\n" ); document.write( "76=2(25)+w
\n" ); document.write( "76=50+2w
\n" ); document.write( "76-50=2w
\n" ); document.write( "26=2w
\n" ); document.write( "2w=26
\n" ); document.write( "Divide by 2 both sides of above equation
\n" ); document.write( "2w/2=26/2
\n" ); document.write( "w=13\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Width of the floor = 13 feet\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "
