Algebra.Com's Answer #702537 by akch2002(12) You can put this solution on YOUR website! Let width = w \n" ); document.write( "Hence, length = 5w-4 \n" ); document.write( "Perimeter = 2(5w-4+w)=76 \n" ); document.write( "or, 6w-4=38 \n" ); document.write( "or, 6w = 38+4 = 42 \n" ); document.write( "or, w = 42/6 = 7cms \n" ); document.write( "Length = 7*5-4 = 31cms. \n" ); document.write( " |
