document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Ans:\r\n" );
document.write( "For the same price, you would obviously like to get *more* cake, right?\r\n" );
document.write( "So let us find out the volumes of both the cakes.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Volume of 1st cake - rectangular = length * width * height \r\n" );
document.write( "= \"14%2A9%2A3+=+378+cubic+inches\"\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Volume of 2nd cake - cylindrical = base area * height\r\n" );
document.write( "= \"pi+%2A+radius%5E2+%2A+height+=+pi+%2A+5%5E2+%2A+4+=+314+cubic+inches\"\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Clearly the first cake is bigger and a better buy, for the same cost.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Hope you got it :)\r\n" );
