You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Width = x
\n" ); document.write( "Length = 3x
\n" ); document.write( "Perimeter = 2*length + 2*width
\n" ); document.write( " 232ft = 2(3x) + 2(x)
\n" ); document.write( " 232ft = 6x + 2x
\n" ); document.write( " 8x = 232ft
\n" ); document.write( " x = 232/8
\n" ); document.write( " x = 29ft
\n" ); document.write( "Width = 29ft
\n" ); document.write( "Length = 87ft
\n" ); document.write( "Hope this helps.
