Answer:

S(x)  =  x²  +  390224/x

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of the open box  =   V  = 97556 cm³

Material needed:

Let´s call x the side of the square base then  the  area of the base is

A(b) = x²

For the sides of the box, we have 4 sides each one with area of x*h

where h is the height of the box

The volume of the box    V(b) = 97556 = x²*h   then    h  =  97556/x²

S(x,h) = x²  +  4*x*h*

The surface area of the box as function of x is:

S(x)  =  x²  + 4*x*97556/x²

S(x)  =  x²  +  390224/x

The ____ of ____ property allows you to rewrite . xa· xb as xa + b.
gregori [183]
The rule of distributive property allows you to rewrite xa + xb as x (a + b).

So if x = 2, a = 3 and b = 4, xa + xb = x(a + b)
(2 * 3) + (2 * 4) = 2 (3 + 4)
6 + 8 = 14
14 = 14
...and so on. You may try it yourself with different variations.

Thank you for posting your question. I hope you found what you were after. Please feel free to ask me more.
