The square, side s.
\n" ); document.write( "Perimeter is \"4s\" and area is \"s%5E2\".\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The rectangle, sides x and 2x.
\n" ); document.write( "Perimeter is \"2%2Ax%2B2%2A2x=6x\".\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Both perimeters are specified to be equal.
\n" ); document.write( "\"4s=6x\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"2s=3x\".
\n" ); document.write( "-
\n" ); document.write( "Solving for s, \"s=%283%2F2%29x\" and this is to be used for finding area for the square and for the rectangle, as expressions.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Area for the square: \"%28%283%2F2%29x%29%5E2=highlight%28%289%2F4%29x%5E2%29\".
\n" ); document.write( "Area for the rectangle: \"x%2A2x=highlight%282x%5E2%29\".
\n" ); document.write( "-
\n" ); document.write( "RATIO of the areas of the square to the rectangle:
\n" ); document.write( "\"%28%289%2F4%29x%5E2%29%2F%282x%5E2%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"%289%2F4%29%2F2\"
