A small rectangular box must be constructed with a volume of 10 cubic inches, a square base, and no top. The material for the base costs $5 per square inch and the material for the sides cost $2 per square inch. What are the dimensions of the most cost-effective box? (Use a graphing utility to estimate the answer to one decimal place.)
