\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "let x be the width
\n" ); document.write( "4x will be the length
\n" ); document.write( "4x*x = 16
\n" ); document.write( "4x^2 = 16
\n" ); document.write( "x^2 = 4
\n" ); document.write( "x = 2 or -2
\n" ); document.write( "the width is 2 meters and the length is 2*4 = 8 meters
\n" ); document.write( "the perimeter = 2 + 8 + 2 + 8 = 20 meters.         ANSWER\r
