L=length; W=width=L+4ft; P=perimeter=2(L+W)=24ft \n" ); document.write( "P=2(L+W) \n" ); document.write( "24ft=2(L+W) Divide each side by 2. \n" ); document.write( "12ft=L+W Substitute for W \n" ); document.write( "12ft=L+(L+4ft) Subtract 4ft from each side. \n" ); document.write( "8ft=2L Divide each side by 2. \n" ); document.write( "4ft=L ANSWER 1:The length is 4 feet. \n" ); document.write( "W=L+4ft=4ft+4ft=8ft ANSWER 2: The width is 8 feet. \n" ); document.write( "CHECK: \n" ); document.write( "P=2(L+W) \n" ); document.write( "24ft=2(4ft+8ft) \n" ); document.write( "24ft=2(12ft) \n" ); document.write( "24ft=24ft \n" ); document.write( " |
