A closed box has a square base with side length ll feet and height hh feet. Given that the volume of the box is 29 cubic feet, express the surface area of the box in terms of ll only.

Respuesta :

The surface area of the closed box in terms of l only, which has the square base is,[tex]2l^2 + \frac{116}{l}[/tex]

How to determine the surface area

The volume of cuboid or box can be given as,

Volume = l × b × h

Here, (l) is the length, (b) is the width of the box and (h) is the height of the box.

A closed box has a square base with side length l feet and height h feet.  Therefore, the length and width will be the same.

Then the volume of the box is 29 cubic feet. Thus,

29 = l × l × h

29 = [tex]l^2 h[/tex]

[tex]h = \frac{l^2}{29}[/tex]

The surface area of the square base box is,

Area = [tex]2l^2 + 4lh[/tex]

Substitute the value of h

Area = [tex]2l^2 + 4l\frac{29}{l^2}[/tex]

Area =  ,[tex]2l^2 + \frac{116}{l}[/tex]

Therefore, the surface area of the closed box in terms of l only, which has the square base is,[tex]2l^2 + \frac{116}{l}[/tex]
