AREA=LW
\n" ); document.write( "L=W+5
\n" ); document.write( "336=(W+5)W
\n" ); document.write( "336=W^2+5W
\n" ); document.write( "W^2+5W-336=0
\n" ); document.write( "(W+21)(W-16)=0
\n" ); document.write( "W-16=0
\n" ); document.write( "W=16 ANS. FOR THE WIDTH.
\n" ); document.write( "L=16+5=21 ANS. FOR THE LENGTH.
\n" ); document.write( "PROOF:
\n" ); document.write( "336=21*16
\n" ); document.write( "336=336
