\n" ); document.write( "The lenght of a rectangular park is 15 m longer than that of its breadth.
\n" ); document.write( "If the perimeter of the park is 114 m, find its length and breadth.
\n" ); document.write( "~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\r

\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "
\r\n" );
document.write( "Let me show you how to solve this problem mentally without using equations.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Let us make each of the two (both) long sides in 15 m shorter (mentally).\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Then all the sides will have equal length, and the perimeter will be in 2*15 = 30 m shorter. So, the perimeter will be 114 - 30 = 84 m.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "But then will be 4 equal lengths in 84 meters, so each side will be \"84%2F4\" = 21 m.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Hence, the width of the park is 21 m.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Then the length of the park is 21 + 15 = 36 m.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Answer. The length is 36 m,  the width is 21 m.\r\n" );
