\n" ); document.write( "


\n" );
document.write( "Let width be W
\n" );
document.write( "Then length = W + 5
\n" );
document.write( "Therefore, W(W + 5) = 20
\n" );
document.write( "
\n" );
document.write( "
\n" );
document.write( "Use the quadratic equation formula to solve for W, or the width
\n" );
document.write( "Add 5 to that value to determine the value of the length
\n" );
document.write( "Then do a check!! \r
