General: Unicorns To celebrate the acquisition of Styria in 1261, Ottokar II sent hunters into the Bohemian woods to capture a unicorn. To display the unicorn at court, the king built a rectangular cage. The material for three sides of the cage cost 3 ducats per running cubit, while the fourth was to be gilded and cost 51 ducats per running cubit. In 1261 it was well known that a happy unicorn requires an area of 2025 square cubits. Find the dimensions that would keep the unicorn happy at the lowest cost.
