\n" );
document.write( "Let length and width be L and W, respectively
\n" );
document.write( "Then: LW = 2,508 ------- eq (i)
\n" );
document.write( "Also, 2(L + W) = 202______2(L + W) = 2(101)______L + W = 101______W = 101 - L ------ eq (ii)
\n" );
document.write( "L(101 - L) = 2,508 ------- Substituting 101 - L for W in eq (i)
\n" );

document.write( "(L - 44)(L - 57) = 0
\n" );
document.write( "L - 44 = 0                  OR                 L - 57 = 0

document.write( "L = 44                      OR                 L = 57\r

document.write( "\n" );
document.write( "This means that if length = 44, then width = 57
\n" );
document.write( "However, if length = 57, then width = 44
