Algebra.Com's Answer #283107 by mananth(16946)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! let length of square base be l \n" ); document.write( "so area of base = l^2 \n" ); document.write( "Volume = l^2*h ====> h = height \n" ); document.write( "h= 1500/l^2 \n" ); document.write( ".. \n" ); document.write( "surfae area of closed box = 2l^2+2*l*h+2*l*h \n" ); document.write( "=2l^2+4lh \n" ); document.write( "substitute value of h \n" ); document.write( "=2l^2+4*l*(1500/l^2) \n" ); document.write( "=2l^2+6000/l \n" ); document.write( ".. \n" ); document.write( "m.ananth@hotmail.ca \n" ); document.write( " |
