The volume of a cubic foot, converted to cubic
\n" ); document.write( "inches is:
\n" ); document.write( "\"+12%5E3+=+1728+\" in3
\n" ); document.write( "Let \"+L+\" = the length of the bar
\n" ); document.write( "The area of 1/2 inch square is:
\n" ); document.write( "\"+.5%5E2+=+.25+\" in2
\n" ); document.write( "------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "I can say:
\n" ); document.write( "\"+.25%2AL+=+1728+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+L+=+6912+\" in
\n" ); document.write( "Converted to feet, this is:
\n" ); document.write( "\"+6912%2F12+=+576+\" ft
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
