\n" ); document.write( "\"+L+=+2+%2B+11.5+%2B+2+\" and
\n" ); document.write( "\"+W+=+2+%2B+5+%2B+2+\"
\n" ); document.write( "----------------------
\n" ); document.write( "\"+L+=+15.5+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+W+=+9+\"
\n" ); document.write( "-----------------
\n" ); document.write( "The formula for perimeter i9s:
\n" ); document.write( "\"+P+=+2L+%2B+2W+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+P+=+2%2A15.5+%2B+2%2A9+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+P+=+31+%2B+18+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+P+=+49+\"
\n" ); document.write( "49 m of fencing are needed
