Obviously, shorter side = b
\n" );
document.write( "Then each longer side = 2b
\n" );
document.write( "We then get: b + 2(2b) = 725
\n" );
document.write( "5b = 725
\n" );
document.write( "Length of shorter side, or b:  
\n" );
document.write( "Length of a longer side, or 2b:  \n" );
document.write( "

\n" );
