\n" ); document.write( "The Length of a rectangle is \"8in\" more then its width
\n" ); document.write( "if \"a\" is \"lenght\" and \"b\" is \"width\", then:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"a+=+b+%2B+8in\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "the perimeter is \"P+=+24in+\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"P+=+2+%28a%2Bb%29\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"P+=+2+%28+%28b%2B8in%29%2Bb%29\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"P+=+2%282b%2B8in%29\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"P+=+2b+%2B+16in\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "since \"P+=+24in\", we have:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"24in+=+4b+%2B+16in\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"4b+=+24in+-+16in\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"4b+=+8in\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"b+=+2in\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "then \"a+=+2in+%2B+8in\" => \"a+=+10in\"
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
