i have to find the radius of a hollow sphere
\n" ); document.write( "The metal in the sphere is 3cm thick and the volume of the metal is 684 times pi cm cubed.
\n" ); document.write( "-----------------
\n" ); document.write( "Volume of a sphere = \"4%2Api%2Ar%5E3%2F3\"
\n" ); document.write( "The volume of the 3 cm wall is the volume of a sphere of radius (r+3) minus a sphere or radius r.
\n" ); document.write( "---------------
\n" ); document.write( "\"684%2Api+=+%284%2Api%2F3%29%2A%28%28r%2B3%29%5E3+-+r%5E3%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"684+=+%284%2F3%29%2A%28r%5E3+%2B+9r%5E2+%2B+27r+%2B+27+-+r%5E3%29\"

\n" ); document.write( "\"57+=+r%5E2+%2B+3r+%2B+3\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"r%5E2+%2B+3r+-+54+=+0\"
\n" ); document.write( "(r + 9)*(r - 6) = 0
\n" ); document.write( "r = 6 cm (inside radius)
\n" ); document.write( "r = 9 cm (outside radius)\r
