You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Let \"+h+\" = height of the printed area
\n" ); document.write( "Let \"+w+\" = width of the printed area
\n" ); document.write( "Let \"+A+\" = the total area of the poster
\n" ); document.write( "------------------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "(1) \"+h%2Aw+=+32+\" in2
\n" ); document.write( "(2) \"+A+=+%28+h+%2B+4+%29%2A%28+w+%2B+8%2F3+%29+\"
\n" ); document.write( "Notice I added twice the margins to height and width
\n" ); document.write( "--------------------------------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "(2) \"+A+=+h%2Aw+%2B+4w+%2B+%288%2F3%29%2Ah+%2B+32%2F3+\"
\n" ); document.write( "and
\n" ); document.write( "(1) \"+h+=+32%2Fw+\"
\n" ); document.write( "---------------------
\n" ); document.write( "(2) \"+A+=+32+%2B+4w+%2B+%288%2F3%29%2A%2832%2Fw%29+%2B+32%2F3+\"
\n" ); document.write( "(2) \"+A+=+4w+%2B+256%2F%283w%29+%2B+32+%2B+32%2F3+\"
\n" ); document.write( "---------------------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Here's a plot of this function:
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "It looks like for \"+w+=+5+\", I get an area of about \"+80+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+h%2Aw+=+32+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+5h+=+32+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+h+=+32%2F5+\"
\n" ); document.write( "(2) \"+A+=+%28+h+%2B+4+%29%2A%28+w+%2B+8%2F3+%29+\"
\n" ); document.write( "(2) \"+A+=+%28+32%2F5+%2B+4+%29%2A%28+5+%2B+8%2F3+%29+\"
\n" ); document.write( "(2) \"+A+=+%28+52%2F5+%29%2A%28+23%2F3+%29+\"
\n" ); document.write( "(2) \"+A+=+1196%2F15+\"
\n" ); document.write( "() \"+A+=+79.73+\"
\n" ); document.write( "Pretty close
\n" ); document.write( "Hope this helps -you can make a table
\n" ); document.write( "You could also make Area a function of height
\n" ); document.write( "instead of width if you wanted to.
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
