Answer:

Hence the width, length is 20 cm and height is 10 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the box has a square base, let length = width = x. Also, let the height = y, therefore:

The volume of box = width * length * height

4000 = x * x * y

4000 = x²y

y=4000/x²

The surface area (SA) = area of the base + sum of the area of each side

SA = x² + xy + xy + xy + xy

SA = x² + 4xy

substitute y = 4000/x²

SA = x² + 4x(4000/x²)

SA = x² + 16000/x

Taking the derivative:

SA' = 2x - 16000/x²

making SA' = 0:

0 = 2x - 16000/x²

2x = 16000/x²

2x³ = 16000

x³ = 8000

x = 20 cm

y = 4000 / x² = 4000 / 20² = 10 cm

Hence the width, length is 20 cm and height is 10 cm
