Sadly, the magician Gob is being forced out of business because he revealed
the secrets of the Aztec tomb (the box your made for him). Since you did so well making
the tomb, he's asking you to make a cardboard box for him to pack up his things. His
requirements are that the box have a square base and 12 cubic feet of volume. In order to
cut costs, you want to use as little cardboard as possible to make this box: it needs to have
one layer of cardboard on each of the four sides and the bottom, and two layers of cardboard
on the top (in order to make flaps). What are the dimensions of the box that minimize the
cardboard used, and how much cardboard is required?
