\r\n" );
document.write( "    \"x+%2B+2x+%2B+sqrt%28x%5E2%2B%282x%29%5E2%29\" = 28\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "    \"3x+%2B+sqrt%285%29%2Ax\" = 28\r\n" );

document.write( "    x = \"28%2F%283%2Bsqrt%285%29%29\" = 5.348 (rounded)\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "ANSWER.  The sides are x= 5.348,  2x = 2*5.348 = 10.695,  \"%28sqrt%285%29%29%2Ax\" = \"sqrt%285%29%2A5.348\" = 11.957.\r\n" );
