W=width; L=length =W+6m; P=perimeter=2(L+W) \n" ); document.write( "28 meters=2(L+W) Substitute for L \n" ); document.write( "28m=2(W+6m+W) Divide each side by 2. \n" ); document.write( "14m=2W+6m subtract 6m from each side \n" ); document.write( "8m=2W Divide each side by 2 \n" ); document.write( "4m=W ANSWER: The width is 4 meters. \n" ); document.write( "L=W+6m=4m+6m=10m ANSWER 2: The length is 10 meters. \n" ); document.write( " |
