A carpenter wants to build a rectangular box with square sides in which to put round things. the material for the bottom costs $

20/ft^2, material for the sides costs $10/ft^2 and the material for the top costs $50/ft^2
If the volume of the box must be 5 ft^3, then find the dimensions that will minimize the cost (and find the minimum cost).

Answer:1.627\times 1.627\times 1.88\ ft^3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Suppose side face have a dimension of l\times l

and width of h

volume V=l^2\cdot h

h=\frac{V}{l^2}

volume V=5 ft^3

Area of side wall is A_s=l^2

Area of top Wall A_t=l\times h

Area of bottom A_b=l\times h

Cost of bottom wall c_b=20\times l\times h=20lh

Cost of top wall c_t=50\times l\times h=50lh

Cost of side walls c_s=4\times l^2\times 10=40l^2

total cost C=c_s+c_t+c_b=20lh+50lh+40l^2

C=70lh+40l^2

C=70\times l\times \frac{5}{l^2}+40l^2

differentiate C w.r.t l to get minima or maxima

\frac{\mathrm{d} C}{\mathrm{d} l}=0

-\frac{350}{l}+80l^2=0

l^3=\frac{350}{80}

l=1.627 ft

h=\frac{5}{2.648}

h=1.88 ft

Dimension of Box is 1.627\times 1.627\times 1.88\ ft^3
