Let
x--------> the length side of the square base
h--------> the height of the box
we know that
<u>the volume of the box is equal to</u>
so
<u>the surface area of the box is equal to</u>
(remember that the box is open)
area of the base=
Perimeter of the base=
height=(h) m
substitute
we know that
the value of x can not be negative and the denominator can not be zero
therefore
<u>the answer is</u>
the domain of SA is x> 0
the domain is the interval-------------> (0,∞)
