perimeter is the sum of the sides.
\n" ); document.write( "For the first rectangle, the perimeter is \"2l+%2B+2w\" since the four sides are l , l , w ,w\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "For the second rectangle, the sides are 2l and 4w. So the sides are 2l, 2l, 4w, 4w. Which sums to \"4l+%2B+8w\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So how much longer is the second than the first?
\n" ); document.write( "\"%284l%2B8w%29+-+%282l%2B2w%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"%284l-2l%29+%2B+%288w-2w%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"2l+%2B+6w\" longer
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
