Question

I’m building a box with an open top. The base will be made of wood and the sides will be made of glass. The volume of the box needs to be 720 cubic inches. If glass costs four times as much as wood, use the method of Lagrange multipliers to find the dimensions of the box that minimize the cost of the materials.
