width =x
\n" ); document.write( "length = x+5\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "perimeter = 2*(L+W)\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "=2(x+x+5)
\n" ); document.write( "=2(2x+5)
\n" ); document.write( "=4x+10\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "4x+10=50
\n" ); document.write( "4x=50-10
\n" ); document.write( "4x=40
\n" ); document.write( "/4
\n" ); document.write( "x=10 feet the width
\n" ); document.write( "length = 10 +5 = 15 ft\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Area = L*W\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "=10*15= 150 sq. ft
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
