You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Perimeter(P) of a rectangle equals 2* Length(L) plus 2*Width(W) or P=2L+2W\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Let W=width
\n" ); document.write( "Then L=3W+2
\n" ); document.write( "soooo,
\n" ); document.write( "P=2L+2W or
\n" ); document.write( "44=2(3W+2)+2W
\n" ); document.write( "6W+4+2W=44
\n" ); document.write( "8W=40
\n" ); document.write( "W=5 yards-------------------width of rectangle
\n" ); document.write( "CK
\n" ); document.write( "L=3W+2=3*5+2=17 yards
\n" ); document.write( "44=2*17+2*5
\n" ); document.write( "44=34+10
\n" ); document.write( "44=44\r
