L*W=AREA
\n" ); document.write( "L=W+8
\n" ); document.write( "(W+8)W=180
\n" ); document.write( "W^2+8W=180
\n" ); document.write( "W^2+8W-180=0
\n" ); document.write( "(W-10)(W+18)=0
\n" ); document.write( "W-10=0
\n" ); document.write( "W=10 ANS. FOR THE WIDTH.
\n" ); document.write( "L=10+8=18 ANS. FOR THE LENGTH.
\n" ); document.write( "PROOF:
\n" ); document.write( "18*10=180
\n" ); document.write( "180=180
