The dimensions of the crate that will minimize the total cost of material are 10, 10, and 29.

<h3>How to compute the dimension?</h3>

The volume will be:

= Length × Width × Height

= lwh

For the square base, w = l

2880 = w²h

The cost function will be:

C = 12wl + 4wh + 4lh

Put l = w.

C = 12w² + 8wh

C = 12w² + 8w(2880/w²)

C = 12w² + 23040/w

Differentiate with respect to w

C'(w) = 0

24w = 23040/w²

24w³ = 23040

w³ = 960

w = 10 approximately

The length is 16 as well as they are the same. The height will be:

= 2880/w²

= 2880/10²

= 28.8 = 29

Therefore, the dimensions are 10, 10, and 29.
