Minimum surface

Find the length, breadth, and height of the cuboid-shaped box with a minimum surface area, into which 50 cuboid-shaped blocks, each with length, breadth, and height equal to 4 cm, 3 cm, and 2 cm, respectively, can be packed.

Correct answer:

x =  12 cm
y =  10 cm
z =  10 cm

Step-by-step explanation:
