Trouble with optimization (calculus) word problem.?

An open top crate with square base is to be constructed to have a volume of 300 ft^3. If the material for the base costs $5 per square foot, and the material for the sides costs $2 per square foot, find the dimensions (LxWxH) of the crate that will minimize the cost of the crate.
