Here is some help, but not the full solution:\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Using the ratio,
\n" ); document.write( "sides are x and y.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"7%2F3=x%2Fy\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%287%2F3%29y=x\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Knowing perimeter,
\n" ); document.write( " $\"2x%2B2y=60\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"2%287%2F3%29y%2B2y=60\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Solve this for y and go back to compute x. \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
