Required
Minimum cost of paint
The volume is calculated as:

Substitute 288 for V

Make z the subject

The surface area is calculated as:

Because xy represent the dimension of the ceiling and the opposite of the ceiling (the floor) will not be painted. Hence, it does not require a coefficient of 2
The cost is:

Substitute 





Differentiate w.r.t x and y


By comparison: 
Set them equal to 0


Substitute x for y


Cross multiply



Take the cube root of both sides
![x = \sqrt[3]{216}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=x%20%3D%20%5Csqrt%5B3%5D%7B216%7D)


Substitute 6 for x and for y in 




--- approximated
Point D that is the intersection of the the given lines
