You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Length = Width + 2
\n" ); document.write( "Area = 1200
\n" ); document.write( "Area = Length + Width \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Let W be the width. Then length L = (W +2)\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"A+=+L+%2A+W\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"A+=+%28W%2B2%29+%2A+W\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"A+=+W%5E2+%2B+2W\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"1200+=+W%5E2+%2B+2W\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"0+=+W%5E2+%2B2W+-1200\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Now use the quadractic equation to solve
\n" ); document.write( "\"x+=+%28-b+%2B-+sqrt%28+b%5E2-4%2Aa%2Ac+%29%29%2F%282%2Aa%29+\" \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "I get 33.65 and 35.65
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
