Perimeter of a rectangle=2(L+W) where L is the length and W is the width
\n" ); document.write( "54 inches=2(L+8 inches)
\n" ); document.write( "54 in=2L+16 in Subtract 16 in from each side
\n" ); document.write( "38 in=2L divide each side by 2
\n" ); document.write( "19 in=L ANSWER Length is 19 in
\n" ); document.write( "CHECK
\n" ); document.write( "P=2(L+W)
\n" ); document.write( "54 in=2(19 in+8 in)
\n" ); document.write( "54 in=2(27 in)
\n" ); document.write( "54 in=54 in
