New Length = 5*(Old Width)\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "New Length = 5*(3)\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "New Length = 15\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Ratio of Old Length:New Length = 5:15 ----> 1:3\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So each dimension is tripled.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So \r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "New Length = 15\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "New Width = 9\"
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
