33 and (1/3)% = 33 and (1/3) / 100 = (33 and 1/3 / 100) * (3/3) = 100 / 300 = 1/3
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "length = width(w) + (w/3)
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "perimeter(P) = 2w + 2(4w/3)
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "140 = 2w + 8w/3
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "14w/3 = 140
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "14w = 560
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "w = 40 and l = 160/3
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "use Pythagorean Theorem to find the length of the diagonal
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "(120/3)^2 + (160/3)^2 = d^2
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "d^2 = 40000 / 9
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "d = square root (40000 / 9) = 200 / 3 = 66 and (2/3) feet
