Also the box has no top
Here is what I know,
Volume = x*x*h = 4m^3
Surface Area = x^2 * 4xh
(I'm assuming the top is opposite of the square base)
But now I am totally stumped how to make this a function with x as my only variable. Anyone with any insight on this it would be very much appreciated.

-
V = x^2*h = 4
S = x^2 + 4xh
x^2*h = 4
h = 4/(x^2)
Substituting into 'S'
S = x^2 + 4x(4/x^2)
S = x^2 + 16/x
'x' is now the only variable. !!!!!
