document.write( "For it, you need to know the formula for the area of a circle.\r\n" );

document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "This formula is  \r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "    the area = \"pi%2Ar%5E2\".\r\n" );

document.write( "that \"pi\" is the number (a constant value), for which people use an approximate value 3.14.\r\n" );

document.write( "So, for your problem, you get this equation\r\n" );

document.write( "     144 = \"r%5E2\".\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );

document.write( "Finally, you take the square root from both sides, and  - - - o-o-o-p (!) - - - you get\r\n" );
