You can put this solution on YOUR website!
P of rectangle = 2 (L+W) = 2 (10+12) = 44 Yes, good work.
\n" ); document.write( "\"P%5Bsquare%5D+=+44\" \"s%5BSquare%5D+=+44%2F4+=+11\" \"A%5Bsquare%5D+=+11%5E2+=+121\"
\n" ); document.write( "c. add 10 and 12, double the sum, divide by 4, then square the quotient
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
