\n" ); document.write( "The perimeter of a rectangle is 246 units. The base of the rectangle is five times the height. Find the area.
\n" ); document.write( "
Let height be H
\n" );
document.write( "Then base = 5H
\n" );
document.write( "2(H + 5H) = 246_____2(6H) = 246_____12H = 246____H, or height = \"matrix%281%2C6%2C++246%2F12%2C+or%2C+41%2F2%2C+or%2C+20.5%2C+units%29\"
\n" );
document.write( "Height: 5(20.5), or 102.5 units
\n" );
document.write( "Area = B(H), or 20.5(102.5)
\n" );
document.write( "You can do the calculation. \n" );
document.write( "
\n" );
