A square box, shaped shipping crate is designed to have a volume of 16ft. The material used to make the base costs twice as much (per square foot) as the material of the sides, and the materials used to make the top costs twice as much (per square foot) as the materials on the sides. What are the Dimensions of the crate that minimize the cost of the materials?
