A worker is to construct an open rectangular box with a square base and a volume of 27 ft°. If material for the bottom costs $6/ft and material for the sides costs $3/ft, what dimensions will result in the least expensive box? What is the minimum cost? Let x be the length of one side of the base of the box. Express the total cost of the materials, C, in terms of x. C(x) =
