document.write( "Question 1087752: A farmer is fencing off space for his chickens using two rolls of wire fence that are equal in length. One entire roll of wire fence is used to enclose space A in the shape of a regular polygon with 8 sides, and the entire second roll is used to enclose space B in the shape of a regular polygon with 5 sides. If each side of B is 6 feet longer than each side of A, what is the length, in feet, of one roll of wire fence?\r
