An aluminum can is to be constructed to contain 1400 of liquid.
Let and be the radius of the base and the height of the can respectively.

a) Express in terms of . (If needed you can enter as pi.)

b) Express the surface area of the can in terms of .

Surface area =

c) Approximate the value of that will minimize the amount of required material (i.e. the value of that will minimize the surface area).
What is the corresponding value of ?
