A=L*W=98
\n" ); document.write( "Therefore L=98/W.
\n" ); document.write( "Perimeter is 42 mm and half the perimeter is L+W=21 mm
\n" ); document.write( "But L=98/W
\n" ); document.write( "Therefore (98/W)+W=21 mm
\n" ); document.write( "multiply everything by W
\n" ); document.write( "98+w^2=21W
\n" ); document.write( "w^2-21w+98=0
\n" ); document.write( "(w-14)(w-7)=0
\n" ); document.write( "w=14 or 7
\n" ); document.write( "L=7 or 14
\n" ); document.write( "By convention, L is longer, so the dimensions are 14 mm x 7 mm.
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
