length=x
\n" ); document.write( "width is (x/2)+3
\n" ); document.write( "x*(x+6)/2=140, putting (x/2)+3 over a common denominator.
\n" ); document.write( "x(x+6)=280
\n" ); document.write( "x^2+6x-280=0
\n" ); document.write( "(x+20)(x-14)=0
\n" ); document.write( "x=14 m length, only positive root
\n" ); document.write( "width is 3 more than half or 10 m
\n" ); document.write( "14 m x 10 m \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
