let height be h
\n" ); document.write( "width = 3h-8\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Perimeter = 2(L+W)\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Perimeter = 2(h+3h-8)\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "2(4h-8)=272\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "/2
\n" ); document.write( "4h-8 = 136\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "4h=144\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "/4
\n" ); document.write( "h=36 inches\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Plug h and you will get the width\r
