Unfortunately no. I also tried making the formula look like this:
<?php (36.00000*58.00000)/144 ?>

and returning it with:
eval('?>' . $a . '<?php ');

Let's do an experiment. Place these two lines of code in a page, then load
it in a browser;

<?php

$foo = (36.00000*58.00000)/144;
echo $foo;

?>

works fine for me. If you change

<?php (36.00000*58.00000)/144 ?>

to

<?php echo (36.00000*58.00000)/144; ?>

it also works.
