A jewelry box with a square base is to be built with silver plated sides, nickel plated bottom and top, and a volume of \(52\mathrm{~cm}^{3}\). If nickel plating costs \(\$ 1\) per \(\mathrm{cm}^{2}\) and silver plating costs \(\$ 8\) per \(\mathrm{cm}^{2}\), find the dimensions of the box to minimize the cost of the materials. (Use decimal notation. Give your answers to three decimal places.) len
