Perimeter = 860
\n" ); document.write( "Width =x ft
\n" ); document.write( "Length 2x-65
\n" ); document.write( "Perimeter = 2((2x-65)+x)
\n" ); document.write( "Perimeter = 2( 2x-65+x)
\n" ); document.write( "Perimeter = 4x-130+2x
\n" ); document.write( "860 =6x-130
\n" ); document.write( "860 + 130 = 6 x
\n" ); document.write( "990 = 6 x
\n" ); document.write( "x= 165 ft Width
\n" ); document.write( "Length = 265 ft
\n" ); document.write( "
