\"Pi\" not needed because diameter of each can is known.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Going from one corner on the bottom to a neighboring corner, \"14%2F3.5=4\". The entire bottom layer of cans will be four of these; so \"4%2A4=highlight_green%2816%29\" cans on each layer.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Each can is 6 inches tall, and the tallness of the crate is the same 14 inches, so \"6%2B6=12%3C14\". The 6 inch makes for two terms of 6 to be summed, so TWO layers of cans.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "16 cans per layer, 2 layers,
\n" ); document.write( "32 soup cans.
