Then once you have your diagram, you will realize that surface area is comprised of 6 faces, each of which is calculated as the product of exactly two of the dimension expressions *(but, you only have to calculate 3 times, since opposite faces are identical, or 2 times if you are even cleverer). Pool all those six expressions, and you have your answer (it's a quadratic expression in x).
