L = W + 4
\n" ); document.write( "LW = 60
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "LW = 60
\n" ); document.write( "(W + 4)W = 60
\n" ); document.write( "W^2 + 4W + (-60) = 0
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "above is in quadratic equation form: ax^2 + bx + c = 0
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "use the quadratic formula to solve for two solutions:
\n" ); document.write( "x = ( -b +- sqrt( bb - 4ac ) ) / 2a
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "the two solutions are:
\n" ); document.write( "W = 6
\n" ); document.write( "W = -10
\n" ); document.write( "the negative solution doesn't make sense for length, so use the positive solution.
