Strange problem.
\n" ); document.write( "\"1trillion=10%5E12\" in the USA
\n" ); document.write( "(Between different countries, we do not agree on the definitions of billion, trillion, trapezoid, pavement, pants, hood, trunk, engine, and other terms).
\n" ); document.write( "\"1yard=3feet=36inches\"
\n" ); document.write( "A cube with \"5in\" edges has an outside surface area of
\n" ); document.write( "\"6%285in%29%285in%29=highlight%28150in%5E2%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "If that outside surface area was divided into
\n" ); document.write( "\"30trillion=30%2A10%5E12\" pieces of equal area,
\n" ); document.write( "each piece would have an area of

\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Hopefully, that is an acceptable answer, and there is no objection to having 3 significant figures in the result.
\n" ); document.write( "Otherwise, maybe \"highlight%283.9%2A10%5E%28-15%29%29\"\"yard%5E2\" , with 2 significant figures, may be the expected answer, since 30 trillion appears to have 2 significant figures.
