12 units represents the PERIMETER of the fence
\n" );
document.write( "As perimeter = 2 times length + 2 times width, we can say that:
\n" );
document.write( "P = 2(L + W)
\n" );
document.write( "12 = 2(L + W)
\n" );
document.write( "2(6) = 2(L + W)
\n" );
document.write( "2 = 2, so 6 = L + W, and therefore, . Choose any number for W (the width) and the length will be 6 minus that value. 
\n" );
document.write( "Multiply the width by the length and you have the area of the yard. \r
\n" );
document.write( "\n" );
document.write( "Choosing a value of 1 for width
\n" );
document.write( "For example, if I choose 1 for the width, then the length is: 6 - 1 = 5, and the area is: 1(5), or \r
\n" );
document.write( "\n" );
document.write( "Choosing a value of 3 for width
\n" );
document.write( "For example, if I choose 3 for the width, then the length is: 6 - 3 = 3, and the area is: 3(3), or \r

\n" );
document.write( "For example, if I choose 4 for the width, then the length is: 6 - 4 = 2, and the area is: 4(2), or  \n" );
