Solution

Since the box is square base, let the dimension of the box be x ft, x ft and x ft.Volume of the box V=x2y=1000 ft3y=1000x2Now surface area of the box S= 2x2+xy+xyS= 4xy+2x2=4x×1000x2+2x2=4000x+2x2Now for getting the maximum and minumum we find first derivative and then equate it to zero,So dSdx=-4000x2+4x=0From here we get x = 10 ft.So y =1000x2=1000100=10 ftSo the dimension of the box = 10ft, 10ft, 10 ft.
