You know someone someday is going to post something so truly horrific that no one will be able to click the like button and then all the beer will dry up.
'tis will be the day the 4 apocalyptic horsemen will decent to earth. (aka it will rain nukes)

Okay to be totally honest .. I had to look up what to do after I had the surface A .. but I think it counts anyways: ~ 2,45

sqrt(1² + 1²) = 1,414 = h
(3m * 1,414m) /2 = 2,121 m² = A
(here is the part I did not remember: )
sqrt( 2,121² - (1,414)^4 ) = 0,707 = x

q
= (2,121 - 0,707) / 1,414 = 1
p = 3 - 1 = 2
a = (3 * 1) = 1,732
b = sqrt(3² - 1,732²) = sqrt( 6 ) = 2,45m
I have some good and some bad news for you.
there is an error in your answer ~0,04m
and I'm not shure if that's because your solution is not related to the problem or jus´t some lost digits in the equation.
friday i can get my dirty hands on my sheet of paper again, so I'll be able to post my solution here, (I'm to lazy to do the math again :D )
My solution to that problem was way more complicated but I'm impressed that you aproximated the result in so few steps.
So you get an A+ anyways.

Take that A+ away. Looking at it today I made a dumb mistake.

I took the diagonal of the box (sqrt(1² + 1²)) as hc but that's wrong since it's not orthogonal to the ladder. (That would only be the case if the box is ~ 2,12m x 2,12m )
Maybe I'll give it another try sometime
