You can put this solution on YOUR website!
If the width is w, the length is w+4 so we have w(w+4)=77 \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"w%5E2%2B4w=77\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"w%5E2%2B4w-77=0\" \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"%28w-7%29%28w%2B11%29=0\" A width can’t be negative so we have w=7 and w+4=11 so the dimensions of the rectangle are 7 and 11.
