Algebra.Com's Answer #502296 by JulietG(1812) You can put this solution on YOUR website! Perimeter = 2 length + 2 width (P=2L+2W) \n" ); document.write( "L = 9W \n" ); document.write( ". \n" ); document.write( "Substitute the value of L \n" ); document.write( "P = 2W + 2(9W) \n" ); document.write( "Add the Ws \n" ); document.write( "P = 2W + 18W \n" ); document.write( "Add \n" ); document.write( "P = 20W \n" ); document.write( "We're given the perimeter as 420 \n" ); document.write( "420 = 20W \n" ); document.write( "Divide each side by 20 \n" ); document.write( "21 = W \n" ); document.write( ". \n" ); document.write( "If W is 21, then L = 9*21 = 189 \n" ); document.write( " |
