Length = L
\n" ); document.write( "Width = W\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "L = 4W
\n" ); document.write( "Area = length * width
\n" ); document.write( "676 = 4W * W
\n" ); document.write( " $\"676+=+4%2AW%5E2\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"676%2F4+=+W%5E2\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"169+=+W%5E2\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"W+=+sqrt%28169%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( "W = 13
\n" ); document.write( "L = 4W = 4 * W = 4 * 13 = 52\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "so, the length is 52 feet and the width is 13 feet \n" ); document.write( "
