Draw this.
\n" ); document.write( "The surface area is x^2 (the base) plus 4xh (the sides)
\n" ); document.write( "The volume is x^2*h
\n" ); document.write( "solve for h=v/x^2
\n" ); document.write( "substitute back into S=x^2+4xh
\n" ); document.write( "S=x^2+4*x*v/x^2
\n" ); document.write( "S=4v/x + x^2
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
