\n" ); document.write( "small cylinder: radius r, height 7; total surface area \"2%28pi%29r%5E2%2B2%28pi%29r%287%29\"

\n" ); document.write( "large cylinder: radius r, height 3*7=21, total surface area \"2%28pi%29r%5E2%2B2%28pi%29r%2821%29\"

\n" ); document.write( "The total surface area is 770:

\n" ); document.write( "\"4%28pi%29r%5E2%2B2%28pi%29r%2828%29+=+770\"

\n" ); document.write( "With the \"pi\"s in that equation, the answer isn't going to be a \"nice\" number.... Use a calculator....
