You have to design an open-top box (box that has a bottom and all four sides but no lid) to be made out of two different types of material. The material for the sides costs $4 per square inch. The material to make the bottom costs $3 per square inch. The bottom of the box should be a square and the volume of the box must be 3 cubic inches. Find the dimensions of the box such that the cost is minimized. Recall that the volume of a box is length x width x height.
