You can put this solution on YOUR website!
The formula for area is:
\n" ); document.write( "\"+A+=+L%2AW+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+L+=+2W+%2B+4+\" ft
\n" ); document.write( "\"+A+=+160+\" ft2
\n" ); document.write( "------------------
\n" ); document.write( "by substitution:
\n" ); document.write( "\"+160+=+%28+2W+%2B+4+%29%2AW+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+160+=+2W%5E2+%2B+4W+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+W%5E2+%2B+2W+-+80+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+%28+W+%2B+10+%29%2A%28+W+-+8+%29+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+W+=+8+\" ( can only use the positive solution )
\n" ); document.write( "and
\n" ); document.write( "\"+L+=+2W+%2B+4+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+L+=+2%2A8+%2B+4+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+L+=+20+\"
\n" ); document.write( "----------------
\n" ); document.write( "The length is 20 ft
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
