Perimeter P = 2L + 2W = 100. We also have
\n" ); document.write( "L = 5 + 2W
\n" ); document.write( "Now substitute this into the above and get
\n" ); document.write( "2(5+2W) + 2W = 100
\n" ); document.write( "10 + 4W + 2W = 100
\n" ); document.write( "6W + 10 = 100
\n" ); document.write( "6W = 90
\n" ); document.write( "W = 15 feet
\n" ); document.write( "L = 5 + 2(15) = 35 feet
\n" ); document.write( "Area A = LW = 525 square feet
\n" ); document.write( "
