From the solution above:
\n" ); document.write( "--------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Start at S.A. = 2PIr^2 + 2V/r
\n" ); document.write( "Set the 1st derivate of dSA/dr = 0 (derivative of SA with respect to r)
\n" ); document.write( "4PIr - 2V/r^2 = 0
\n" ); document.write( "4PIr^3 - 2V = 0
\n" ); document.write( "2PIr^3 - 16PI = 0
\n" ); document.write( "r^3 = 8
\n" ); document.write( "r = 2
\n" ); document.write( "h = 4\r
\n" ); document.write( "
