Use ratios to find the diameter of the model.\r

\n" ); document.write( "\"0.1+=+x\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The model diameter is .1\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Area of a circle is \"A+=+pi%2Ar%5E2\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"d+=+2r\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"r+=+d%2F2\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"A+=+pi%2A%28d%2F2%29%5E2+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"A+=+pi%2A+%28.05%29%5E2\"
