Area = length * width \n" ); document.write( "Factors of 154 are: \n" ); document.write( "1, 2, 7, 11, 14, 22, 77, 154 \n" ); document.write( "The perimeter fence is 2L + 2W. In this case 50cm. So L + W would be half that, or 25. \n" ); document.write( "Which factors of 154 sum to 25? \n" ); document.write( "Only 11 and 14. \n" ); document.write( "The length is 14 and the width is 11. \n" ); document.write( "The perimeter is 14+14+11+11 or 50 \n" ); document.write( "The area is 14 * 11, or 154 \n" ); document.write( " |
