If the fence encloses the garden + border exactly, then
\n" ); document.write( "\"+%28+x+%2B+4+%29%5E2+=+%28+37%2F4+%29%5E2+\"
\n" ); document.write( "Take the square root of both sides
\n" ); document.write( "\"+x+%2B+4+=+37%2F4+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+x+=+9.25+-+4+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+x+=+5.25+\"
\n" ); document.write( "and
\n" ); document.write( "\"+x+%2B+4+=+9.25+\"
\n" ); document.write( "The dimensions of the garden are 5.25' x 5.25'
\n" ); document.write( "---------------------------------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "check:
\n" ); document.write( "\"+%28+x+%2B+4+%29%5E2+=+%28+37%2F4+%29%5E2+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+9.25%5E2+=+9.25%5E2+\"
\n" ); document.write( "OK
