\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "first part:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "the width is \"x\", length of the base is \"2x\" , the base area is \"2x%5E2\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "since the height is \"y\" meters, and the volume is: \r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"V=2x%5E2%2Ay\"...........given \"V=10m%5E3\"\r
