\n" ); document.write( "\"area that needs painting\" = \"area of outside ring\" - \"area of inside ring\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"area that needs painting\" = (pi)(28)^2 - (pi)(20)^2
\n" ); document.write( "\"area that needs painting\" = (pi)(28^2 - 20^2)
\n" ); document.write( "\"area that needs painting\" = (3.14)(28^2 - 20^2)
\n" ); document.write( "\"area that needs painting\" = (3.14)(384)
