Consider that you work at a company that produces wooden boxes. A client requests a batch of 1000 boxes. However, he has some requirements:

• All boxes must have a height of 1 meter.
• All boxes must have a volume of 10000 liters.

Using the information above choose the best base dimensions a and b of the boxes to spend the least possible amount of money on wood (round to 3 decimal places):

1. a = 3.713m, b = 3.162m
2. a = 3.713m, b = 3.713m
3. a = 3.162m, b = 3.713m
4. a = 3.162m, b = 3.162m
5. None of the above
