A rectangular box is constructed where the base length is 3 times the base width. The material used to build the top and bottom costs RM11.00 per square meter and the material used to build the sides costs RM7.00 per square foot. Find the dimensions of the box that will minimize the cost to build if the box must have a volume of 75 cubic meters
