Volume = pi*r^2*h where r is the radius and h is the height\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "V = pi*r^2*h\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "V = (3.14159)*(5^2)*(0.5) *** See Note Below ***\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "V = (3.14159)*(25)*(0.5)\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "V = 39.269875\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So the volume of the flower bed is roughly 39.269875 cubic feet.\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Note: Make sure everything is in the same units. So we want cubic feet, which means it makes sense to get everything into feet. So 6 inches = 0.5 feet\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Also, if you have a diameter of 10 feet, then the radius is 10/2 = 5 feet\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- \n" ); document.write( "If you need more help, email me at jim_thompson5910@hotmail.com\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Also, please consider visiting my website: http://www.freewebs.com/jimthompson5910/home.html and making a donation.
