$${box}\:{without}\:{lid} \\ $$$${box}\:{with}\:{square}\:{base}\:{b}×{b} \\ $$$${height}\:{of}\:{box}\:{h} \\ $$$${V}={b}^{\mathrm{2}} {h} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow{h}=\frac{{V}}{{b}^{\mathrm{2}} } \\ $$$${S}={b}^{\mathrm{2}} +\mathrm{4}{bh}={b}^{\mathrm{2}} +\frac{\mathrm{4}{V}}{{b}} \\ $$$$\frac{{dS}}{{db}}=\mathrm{2}{b}−\frac{\mathrm{4}{V}}{{b}^{\mathrm{2}} }=\mathrm{0} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow{b}=\sqrt[{\mathrm{3}}]{\mathrm{2}{V}}=\sqrt[{\mathrm{3}}]{\mathrm{2}×\mathrm{3}.\mathrm{5}}=\sqrt[{\mathrm{3}}]{\mathrm{7}}=\mathrm{1}.\mathrm{913}\:{m} \\ $$$${S}_{{min}} =\mathrm{1}.\mathrm{913}^{\mathrm{2}} +\frac{\mathrm{4}×\mathrm{3}.\mathrm{5}}{\mathrm{1}.\mathrm{913}}=\mathrm{10}.\mathrm{978}\:{m}^{\mathrm{2}} \\ $$
