document.write( "\n" );
document.write( "a) write down the dimensions of the rectangular box.
\n" );
document.write( "  6*6cm = 36cm  by 6cm by 6cm
\n" );
document.write( "b) calculate the volume of the rectangular box = 36cm*6cm*6cm = 1296cm^3
\n" );
document.write( "c) calculate the volume of the rectangular box not occupied by the balls
\n" );
document.write( "   1296cm^3 - 6* 113cm^3 = 618cm^3
