\n" ); document.write( "--------
\n" ); document.write( "Original surface area = 6s^2 where \"s\" is the length of a side.
\n" ); document.write( "----
\n" ); document.write( "New surface area = 6(1.09s)^2 = 7.1286s^2
\n" ); document.write( "----
\n" ); document.write( "Quantitative gain: 1.1286s^2
\n" ); document.write( "----
\n" ); document.write( "% gain: 1.1286s^2/6s^2 = 0.1881 = 18.81%
