The material for the base and topcosts $6/m^2 and the material for the four sides costs $4/m^2. Findthe dimensions of the container that minimize the cost of eachcontainer.

2. You want to impress your boss by creating a general strategyfor finding the dimensions of the cheapest storage container giventhat the cost of material for the top and bottom is p dollars persquare meter and the cost of the material for the sides is qdollars per square meter. As before, the storage container isrectangular, has a square base, and must have a volume of 10 m^3.Your dimensions will involve p and q.

For each part, you want to prove to your bossthat these dimensions actually do minimize the cost.
