\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"A=s%5E2\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"A=%283%29%5E2=3%2A3=9\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Now find the area of the newer model\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"A=%283.2%29%5E2=%283.2%29%2A%283.2%29=10.24\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So the area of the TV increased from 9 to 10.24 sq cm. Now simply subtract 9 from 10.24 to get\r
