Thanks for reading! This probably won't make sense to anyone, but this was the problem we had to "creatively" explain: "We want to build a box whose base length is 6 times the base width and the box will enclose 20 in3. The cost of the material of the sides is $3/in2 and the cost of the top and bottom is $15/in2. Determine the dimensions of the box that will minimize the cost. "
