\n" );
document.write( "P = 2L + 2W
\n" );
document.write( "for ex:
\n" );
document.write( "IF you have the perimeter P of a rectangle  = 24in
\n" );
document.write( "and you have the length L of the rectangle = 8in
\n" );
document.write( "then  to find the width W use P = 2L + 2W
\n" );
document.write( "      24in = 2•8in + 2W  
\n" );
document.write( "Solve for W
\n" );
document.write( "      24in - 16in = 2W
\n" );
document.write( "              8in = 2W
\n" );
document.write( "              4in = W, the width\r
