\n" ); document.write( "SEING AS THERE IS ALREADY ON SIDE YOU NEED TO FIND THREE ADDITIONAL SIDES OF EQUAL LENGTH.
\n" ); document.write( "20 PIECES OF 2.8 METERS=56 METERS
\n" ); document.write( "56/3=18 2/3 METERS IS THE LENGTH OF EACH OF THE 3 SIDES.
\n" ); document.write( "THUS THE ENCLOSED AREA=56/3*3=56 M^2.
\n" ); document.write( "--------------------------------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "40 PIECES=40*2.8=112 METERS.
\n" ); document.write( "112/3=37 1/3 METERS IS THE LENGTH OF EACH OF THE 3 SIDES.
\n" ); document.write( "THUS THE ENCLOSED AREA=112/3*3=112 M^2.
