Consider a rectangular box with a volume of 300 cubic centimeters.
\n" ); document.write( " Suppose that the base is a rectangle with sides x centimeters and 3x centimeters.
\n" ); document.write( " Let h(x) give the height of the box in centimeters and let A(x)be the total area of the six sides of the box.
\n" ); document.write( " Find h(x) and A(x).
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Using the given volume, find the h in terms of x
\n" ); document.write( "L * W * h = 300
\n" ); document.write( "3x * x * h = 300
\n" ); document.write( "3x^2h = 300
\n" ); document.write( "divide both sides by 3
\n" ); document.write( "x^2h = 100
