\n" ); document.write( "The diagonal of the rectangle is a diameter of the circle; and it is the hypotenuse of a right triangle whose legs are the length and width of the rectangle. With hypotenuse of length 2r and the length of the rectangle 3x, the width of the rectangle is

\n" ); document.write( "\"sqrt%28%282r%29%5E2-%283x%29%5E2%29=sqrt%284r%5E2-9x%5E2%29\"

\n" ); document.write( "Then the area of the rectangle is length times width:

\n" ); document.write( "ANSWER: The area of the rectangle is \"%283x%29%28sqrt%284r%5E2-9x%5E2%29%29\"
