Set-Up
\n" ); document.write( "-------
\n" ); document.write( "A = L * W (Area of a rectangle)
\n" ); document.write( "Given: A = 1083, L = 3W
\n" ); document.write( "---------
\n" ); document.write( "Solution:
\n" ); document.write( "---------
\n" ); document.write( "Substitute the given information into the equation for the area of a rectangle
\n" ); document.write( "\"%281083%29+=+%283W%29+%2A+W\" Simplify
\n" ); document.write( "\"1083+=+3W%5E2\" Divide both sides by 3
\n" ); document.write( "\"361+=+W%5E2\" Take the squareroot of both sides
\n" ); document.write( "\"sqrt%28361%29+=+W\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"highlight%2819+=+W%29\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Now we can find the length
\n" ); document.write( "L =3W
\n" ); document.write( "Plug 19 in for W
\n" ); document.write( "\"L+=+3%2A%2819%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"highlight_green%28L+=+57+feet%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
