height y
\n" ); document.write( "bottom, x and x\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Most Important: Be able to form these two equations based on the description.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "VOLUME, \"x%5E2%2Ay=18\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "SURFACE AREA, \"x%5E2%2B4xy=33\"
\n" ); document.write( "(done as, the \"outside surface\" includes the bottom of the box.)\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "You can decide what to do next.
\n" ); document.write( "You now have two equations in the two unknown variables. Solve the system!
