\n" ); document.write( "---------
\n" ); document.write( "Length = width + 5
\n" ); document.write( "-----
\n" ); document.write( "P = 2(L + W)
\n" ); document.write( "34 = 2(W+5 + W)
\n" ); document.write( "17 = 2W+5
\n" ); document.write( "2W = 12
\n" ); document.write( "W = 6 feet (width)
\n" ); document.write( "L = 11 feet (length)
