Hi there,
\n" ); document.write( "Make width = 'x'
\n" ); document.write( "Length = 2x
\n" ); document.write( "Perimeter = 2 x Width + 2 x Length
\n" ); document.write( "72 = 2x + 4x
\n" ); document.write( "6x = 72
\n" ); document.write( "x = 12m
\n" ); document.write( "Width = 12m
\n" ); document.write( "Length = 24m
\n" ); document.write( "Hope this helps :-)
