We know that the side lengths of the square base are: x * x. The volume is 12, so for now, let's say that y is the other side length. Then, x * x * y = 12. We can solve for y: y = 12/x^2. Now, we find the surface area of the 5 sides.
Four of the sides have the same area: x * (12/x^2) = 12/x, so we multiply this by 4: 48/x.
The last side is the base: x * x = x^2.
We add 48/x to x^2:
x^2 + 48/x
So, the answer is the fourth choice, (d).
oh sheet this is kinda hard but i know bc im best in the skreets ( 7) ,69
The cheap answer is, well, all we do is, grab the denominator of one and multiply the other by it, top and bottom, and grab the denominator of the other, and multiply the first one by that one too, that way, both will have the same denominator, and then you can simply check the numerator to see who's larger, let's do so.

surely you can tell.
