= Weighted open-box minimization

For a topless rectangular box with dimensions $x,y,z$, volume $V$, and weighted face cost
$$
A=axy+bxz+cyz,
$$
an interior optimum equalizes the three terms:
$$
axy=bxz=cyz.
$$
The same result and global minimality follow from the arithmetic-geometric mean inequality.
