document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "So we know A is bigger than D.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "1 hectare is 10000 square meters, so 2 hectares is 20000 square meters,\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "so A is still the biggest so far.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Now we must check C.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "1 acre = 4046.9 square meters.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "So 3 acres is 3×4046.9 = 12140.7 square meters.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "So the biggest area is A.\r\n" );
