w breadth, L length.
\n" ); document.write( "Their ratio is given as \"w%2FL=3%2F5\", then \"w=%283%2F5%29L\".\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Perimeter goes by \"2w%2B2L=160\", simplifying to \"w%2BL=80\".
\n" ); document.write( "Substitute for w:
\n" ); document.write( "\"%283%2F5%29L%2BL=80\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"3L%2B5L=400\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"8L=400\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"highlight%28L=50%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "Use that to compute w.
\n" ); document.write( "\"w=%283%2F5%29%2A50\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"highlight%28w=30%29\".
