More than one answer.
\n" ); document.write( "Three sides.
\n" ); document.write( "L for length
\n" ); document.write( "w for width
\n" ); document.write( "L=3w.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"w%2B2L=120\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"w%2B2%2A3w=120\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"7w=120\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"highlight%28w=17.1%29\" meters and \"highlight%28L=51.4%29\" meters.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Alternative:
\n" ); document.write( "\"2w%2BL=120\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"2w%2B3w=120\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"5w=120\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"w=120%2F5\"
