volume= a^2 * h
area= a^2+4ah
take the second equation, solve for h
4ah=1100-a^2
h=1100/4a -1/4 a now put that expression in volume equation for h.
YOu now have a volume expression as function of a.
take the derivative, set to zero, solve for a. Then put that value back into the volume equation, solve for Volume.
