Further, suppose that you know the length must be 8 feet longer than the width. The back of your house will serve as one side of the fenced area. Note: The perimeter (distance around) of a general rectangle is P = 2L + 2W, and its area is A = L x W. In this situation, P = L + 2W.The area is 8265. What is the area and the preimeter in terms of the lenght? </SPAN>\n" );
