\n" ); document.write( "A square has a perimeter of \"P=64ft\" and an area of \"A=256ft%5E2\". \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"P=4a\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"4a=64ft\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"a=64ft%2F4\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"a=16ft\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "if the side length of the square is divided by \"2\", then we have\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"%28a%2F2%29=16ft%2F2\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"a%2F2=8ft\" then the area and perimeter of the new square will be:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \"P=4%28a%29\" will be \"1%2F2\" of \"P=64ft\":\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \"P=4%2A8ft\"=>\"P=32ft\" which is \"%281%2F2%2964ft\"\r

\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"A=256ft%5E2\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"a%2F2=8ft\" then \"A=%28a%2F2%29%5E2=%281%2F4%29a%5E2\"=> will be \"1%2F4\" of \"A=256ft%5E2\":\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \"A=%28a%2F2%29%5E2\" will be \"A=%288ft%29%5E2\"=>\"A=64ft%5E2\" and \"64ft%5E2=%281%2F4%29256ft%5E2\" \r
