Let the base of the rectangle be x.
\n" ); document.write( "Then the height is (x+6).
\n" ); document.write( "Area of the rectangle is 91 cm^2.
\n" ); document.write( "x(x+6)=91
\n" ); document.write( "x^2+6x-91=0
\n" ); document.write( "x^2+13x-7x-91=0
\n" ); document.write( "x(x+13)-7(x+13)=0
\n" ); document.write( "(x-7)(x+13)=0
\n" ); document.write( "x=7 is the solution
\n" ); document.write( "Height=13 cm
\n" ); document.write( "Base=7 cm
\n" ); document.write( "Perimeter of the rectangle=2(7+13)=40 cm
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
