Is x the diameter of the silo or the radius?
\n" ); document.write( "if x is the radius then the silo takes up pi x^2
\n" ); document.write( "if x is the diameter then the silo takes up pi *(x/2)^2
\n" ); document.write( "We have 23*17=391 sq meters for the corral without the silo
\n" ); document.write( "A=391-pi * x^2
\n" ); document.write( "or
\n" ); document.write( "A=391-pi *(x/2)^2\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "
