L=W-4
\n" ); document.write( "PERIMETER=2W+2L
\n" ); document.write( "2W+2(W-4)=68
\n" ); document.write( "2W+2W-8=68
\n" ); document.write( "4W=68+8
\n" ); document.write( "4W=76
\n" ); document.write( "W=76/4
\n" ); document.write( "W=19 FEET IS THE WIDTH
\n" ); document.write( "L=19-4=15 FEET FOR THE LENGTH.
\n" ); document.write( "PROOF
\n" ); document.write( "2*19+2*15=68
\n" ); document.write( "38+30=68
\n" ); document.write( "68=68
\n" ); document.write( "
