Perimeter = 84
\n" ); document.write( "Length (x+24)
\n" ); document.write( "Width =x ft
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "Perimeter = 2(x+24 +x)
\n" ); document.write( "Perimeter = 2(2x+24)
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "84 = 4 x + 48
\n" ); document.write( "84 - 48 = 4 x
\n" ); document.write( "84 -48 = 4 x
\n" ); document.write( "36 = 4 x
\n" ); document.write( "x= 9 ft Width
\n" ); document.write( "Length = 33 ft \n" ); document.write( "
