\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "If the perimeter is 10 more than twice the length, then 10 must be twice the width (refer to the formula for the perimeter of a rectangle), hence the width has to be 5.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "If the width, which we now know to be 5 is 3 more than 1/4 of the length, 1/4 of the length has to be 2, hence the length is 4 times 2 or 8.\r
