If the rectangle is roped off, that's the perimeter. The perimeter is twice the length plus twice the width. You're already given the length as 65.
\n" ); document.write( "P = 2L + 2W
\n" ); document.write( "200 = 2(65) + 2W
\n" ); document.write( "200 = 130 + 2W
\n" ); document.write( "70 = 2W
\n" ); document.write( "35 = W
\n" ); document.write( "Now you have both the length and the width. Multiply the length by the width to get the area.
\n" ); document.write( "65 * 35 = 2275 sq m
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
