\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Dimension for the SQUARE are 2(3x+1) and 2(3x+1).
\n" ); document.write( "Area of the square is \"2%5E2%2A%283x%2B1%29%5E2\".\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Let the length of the rectangle be L.
\n" ); document.write( "Given is that width of the rectangle is 3x+1.
\n" ); document.write( "Area of the rectangle is \"%283x%2B1%29L\".\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Also given is that ......
\n" ); document.write( "... \"%283x%2B1%29L=2%5E2%283x%2B1%29%5E2\", and the question asked is, what is L.
