\n" ); document.write( "x = width
\n" ); document.write( "5x = length

\n" ); document.write( "area = length times width = x(5x) = 5x^2 = 80

\n" ); document.write( "The perimeter is (length plus width) times 2 = (5x+x)(2) = 12x

\n" ); document.write( "Solve

\n" ); document.write( "\"5x%5E2=80\"

\n" ); document.write( "to find x.

\n" ); document.write( "Then the perimeter is 12x.
\n" ); document.write( "
