You did NOT say what you are trying to find the surface area of. \n" ); document.write( "the quarter circles, the rectangle, the rectangle minus the quarter circles\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Find the area of the rectangle. 100*200=20,000 ft^2 \n" ); document.write( "Call it A(R).\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Since there are 4 quarters it is one entire circle \n" ); document.write( "area of the circle is pi*r^2 \n" ); document.write( "A(C)=3.14*20^2=3.14*400=1256 \n" ); document.write( "if you want the rectangle minus the quarter circles \n" ); document.write( "now A(R)-A(C)=20,000 -1256= \n" ); document.write( " |
