Lengthwise: 2*pi*r=8&1/2
\n" ); document.write( "r=(8&1/2)/(2*pi)
\n" ); document.write( "volume=pi*r^2*11
\n" ); document.write( "volume=pi*((8&1/2)/(2*pi))^2*11
\n" ); document.write( "volume=\"%28%288%261%2F2%29%5E2%2F%284%2Api%29%29%2A11\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"highlight%28794.75%2F%284%2Api%29%29\" which is smaller than widthwise way.\r
