If each can uses up \"15cm%5E2\" of the surface of the bottom of the box,
\n" ); document.write( "the surface area of the bottom of the box is
\n" ); document.write( "\"2940%2A15cm%5E2\"
\n" ); document.write( "The surface area of a square (like the bottom of the box)
\n" ); document.write( "is the square of the length of a side,
\n" ); document.write( "so the length of a side of that square-bottom box is
\n" ); document.write( "\"sqrt%282940%2A15cm%5E2%29\" .
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "Without using a calculator, I can tell that it is \"highlight%28210cm%29\" , because
\n" ); document.write( "\"2940%2A15=1470%2A2%2A15=1470%2A30=7%2A21%2A10%2A3%2A10=21%2A21%2A10%2A10=210%2A210=210%5E2\" .
