A scale factor is a number which scales, or multiplies, some quantity. In the equation y = Cx, C is the scale factor for x. C is also the coefficient of x, and may be called the constant of proportionality of y to x.
Volume = are base*height
32 = x^2*h --> h = 32/x^2
surface area = 4x(32/x^2) + x^2
SA = 128/x + x^2
SA' = -128/x^2 + 2x = 0
2x = 128/x^2
2x^3 = 128
x^3 = 64
x = 4
surface area minimized when length of base is 4 in.
hope this help
