\n" ); document.write( "


\n" );
document.write( "Let width be W
\n" );
document.write( "Then length = W + 1
\n" );
document.write( "Therefore, W(W + 1) = 12
\n" );
document.write( "
\n" );
document.write( "(W - 3)(W + 4) = 0
\n" );
document.write( "W, or width =  feet          OR         W  = - 4 (ignore)
\n" );
document.write( "You can do the check!! \r
