W=L-9
\n" ); document.write( "W=2R
\n" ); document.write( "(2W+2L)-2PiR=450\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "You want to find Pi*R^2 which is the same as Pi*W^2/4\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "2W+2(W+9)-W*Pi=450
\n" ); document.write( "4W+18-Pi*W=450
\n" ); document.write( "(4-Pi)*W=432
\n" ); document.write( "W=432/(4-Pi)
\n" ); document.write( "Pi(432/(4-Pi))^2/4\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Plug that puppy into a calculator and you get:
