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( "
\n" );
