\n" ); document.write( "

Let the original length be L
\n" );
document.write( "Then breadth = 
\n" );
document.write( "We then get: 
\n" );
document.write( "
\n" );
document.write( "
\n" );
document.write( "
\n" );
document.write( " ------- Multiplying by LCD, L
\n" );
document.write( "
\n" );
document.write( "(L - 8)(L - 6) = 0
\n" );
document.write( "L, or original length = 8 m         OR          L = 6 m
\n" );
document.write( "If original length = 8 m, original breadth = 6 m
\n" );
document.write( "If original length = 6 m, original breadth = 8 m \n" );
document.write( "

\n" );
