\n" ); document.write( " What is the volume of the tunnel? Use 3.14 for pi. Round your answer to the nearest hundredth
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Find the volume of the rectangular portion of the tunnel
\n" ); document.write( "30 * 15 * 5 = 2250 cu/yds

\n" ); document.write( "The radius of the cylinder is half the width of the tunnel; 15/2
\n" ); document.write( "V = \"1%2F2\"*\"3.14%2A7.5%5E2%2A30\"
