Each square is
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%28120%2A105%29%2F126=100\"$ $\"ft%5E2\"$
\n" ); document.write( "So each side is
\n" ); document.write( " $\"S=sqrt%28100%29=10\"$ $\"ft\"$
\n" ); document.write( "So you will have
\n" ); document.write( " $\"120%2F10=12\"$ squares across to make the 120 feet
\n" ); document.write( "and then you'll have 10 squares down to make 100 feet.
\n" ); document.write( "You'll have to break the remaining 6 squares in half to make the 5 feet.
\n" ); document.write( "By breaking them in half you'll then have 12 half-squares to go across the 120 feet.
\n" ); document.write( "So $\"12\"$ X $\"10%261%2F2\"$ squares.
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
