\"A square field contains as many square feet as there are feet in the fence enclosing it.\" This means
\n" ); document.write( "that the area and the perimeter must be equal.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Let s represent the length of one side of the square field:\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Area = s^2\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Perimeter = 4s\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Setting the area equal to the perimeter gives:\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "s^2 = 4s\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Dividing but sides by s leaves:\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "s = 4\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The length of the field is 4 feet, the total length of the fencing is 16 ft, and the area is 16 sq. ft.
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
