document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "(1 inch)2 represents (20 miles)2.  Therefore\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "12 inch2 represents 202 miles2. Therefore,\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "12 inch2 represents 202 miles2. Therefore\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "1 inch2 represents 400 miles2. Therefore,\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "1 square inch represents 400 square miles.  Therefore,\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "since 1600 square miles = 4 times 400 square miles,\r\n" );
