Q6

An engineer working on a new generation of computer called The Beaver is using compact VLSI circuits.

The container design for the CPU is to be determined by marketing considerations and must be rectangular in shape. It must contain exactly 10 000 cm^3 of interior space, and the length must be twice the height. If the cost of the base is \$0.02/cm^2 , the cost of the side walls is \$0.05/cm^2, and the cost of the upper face is \$0.10/cm^2, find the dimensions to the nearest millimetre that will keep the cost of the container tot a minimum.
