perimeter is 2L+2W, and half-perimeter is L+W=14.5 m
\n" ); document.write( "L=1.8W, so the half-perimeter is 2.8W=14.5m
\n" ); document.write( "W=5.18 m
\n" ); document.write( "L=1.8*5.18=9.32 m
\n" ); document.write( "2W=10.36 m
\n" ); document.write( "2L=18.64 m
\n" ); document.write( "that sum is 29 m, so it checks.
\n" ); document.write( "5.18 m x 9.32 m\r
