The rink is 100*200=20,000ft^2 \n" ); document.write( "The 4 quarter circles in the corners equals one circle with a radius=20. \n" ); document.write( "Thus we have to subtract one circle with radius=20 ft \n" ); document.write( "area=pi*r^2 \n" ); document.write( "area=3.14*20^2 \n" ); document.write( "area=3.14*400 \n" ); document.write( "area=1,256 \n" ); document.write( "20,000-1,256=18,744 ft^2 is the remaining area of the rink. \n" ); document.write( " |
