A closed cyliindrical container has a volume of 5000in^3. The top and the bottom of the container costs 2.50$in^2 and the rest of the container costs 4$in^2. How should you choose height and radius in order to minimize the cost? v=pi(r)^2 Unfortunately my attempt at this problem is...

It doesn't say, that's directly quoted from the text. i want to say its something like 3(lw)=sides 5(lw)-bottom 2(lw)-top

A closed box with a square base is to contain 252ft^3. The bottom costs 5$ per ft.^2, the top is 2$ft^2 and the sides cost 3$ft^2. Find the dimensions that will minimize the cost. As for equations we have v=lwh and I'm not sure as to how to find the next relative equation. I just...
