\end{figure} A manufacturer produces cartons for fruit juice. Each carton is in the shape of a closed cuboid with base dimensions 2 x cm by x cm and height \(h \mathrm {~cm}\), as shown in Fig. 4. Given that the capacity of a carton has to be \(1030 \mathrm {~cm} ^ { 3 }\),
  1. express \(h\) in terms of \(x\),
  2. show that the surface area, \(A \mathrm {~cm} ^ { 2 }\), of a carton is given by $$A = 4 x ^ { 2 } + \frac { 3090 } { x } .$$
