How do I set my fmincon constraint parameters?

I was trying to use Lagrange multipliers to minimize this function: f(V,N,d,L) = V^2*d^2/(L*N)
given the constraints:
g1(V,N,d,L) = V*d^2*L - A = 0 g2(V,N,d,L) = r_r*N*d*L^2+4*r_l*N*d^2*L - m = 0
where r_r, r_l, A, and m are all constants.
I found that the algebra got way too complicated so I decided to try to use fmincon to optimize it.
My understanding is that I need to use fmincon like this:
x = fmincon(fun,x0,A,b)
Where A and b are a matrix and a vector that account for my constraint functions, but I don't have a clue how to set A and b so they account for the functions g1 and g2 that I've listed above. Can anyone help?
Thanks to anyone who has an answer!!!!!

you can insert them as nonlinear constraints (as functions, see the documentation).
