Side length, x.
\n" ); document.write( "Perimeter, 4x.
\n" ); document.write( "Area, x^2.
\n" ); document.write( "The description seems \"highlight%28x%5E2=4x%2B12%29\";
\n" ); document.write( "area of square base, \"x%5E2\",
\n" ); document.write( "number of square units, same as area, is \"4x%2B12\".\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Work with \"x%5E2-4x-12=0\".
\n" ); document.write( "\"%28x%2B2%29%28x-6%29=0\".
\n" ); document.write( "The solution part which makes sense is \"highlight%28x=6%29\".
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
