Let the width = \"+x+\"
\n" ); document.write( "Length = \"+x+%2B+5+\"
\n" ); document.write( "————————————
\n" ); document.write( "\"+x%5E2+%2B+%28+x+%2B+5+%29%5E2+=+145%5E2+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+x%5E2+%2B+x%5E2+%2B+10x+%2B+25+=+21025+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+2x%5E2+%2B+10x+-+21000+=+0+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+x%5E2+%2B+5x+-+10500+=+0+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+%28+x+%2B+105+%29%2A%28+x+-+100+%29+=+0+\" ( by looking at it )
\n" ); document.write( "\"+x+=+100+\" ( needs to be positive )
\n" ); document.write( "\"+x+%2B+5+=+105+\"
\n" ); document.write( "The parcel is 100 x 105
\n" ); document.write( "—————————————-
\n" ); document.write( "Check:
\n" ); document.write( "\"+100%5E2+%2B+105%5E2+=+145%5E2+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+10000+%2B+11025+=+21025+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+21025+=+21025+\"
\n" ); document.write( "OK\r
