\n" ); document.write( "---------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Draw a rectangle.
\n" ); document.write( "Let the width be 6.
\n" ); document.write( "Let the length be \"L\".
\n" ); document.write( "Perimeter is 46
\n" ); document.write( "-----
\n" ); document.write( "Equation:
\n" ); document.write( "P = 2(L + 6)
\n" ); document.write( "46 = 2L + 12
\n" ); document.write( "2L = 34
\n" ); document.write( "Length = 17 inches
