1. The problem statement, all variables and given/known data
A box with a square base and open top must have a volume of 32,000cm^3. Find the demensions of the box that minimize the amont of material used.
2. Relevant equations
Sa(surface area)=4xy+x^2
Volume=x^2y
3. The attempt at a solution
I want to minimize Sa I am pretty sure so how do i begin?
