Alvin needs to design a box such that the sum of the box's girth and length does not exceed 246 centimeters. Given this constraint, determine the dimensions and volume of the box of maximum volume. $x = $ cm $y = $ cm Maximum Volume = $ cm$^3$

Step 1
Let's define the variables: - Length of the box: L (in centimeters) - Width of the box: W (in centimeters) - Height of the box: H (in centimeters) - Maximum volume of the box: V (in cubic centimeters) Show more…

U.S. postal regulations state that the sum of the length and girth (distance around) of a package must be no more than 108 inches (see below). girth end of box length Find the dimensions of the acceptable box that has the largest volume if the end of the box is a rectangle that is 5 times as long as it is wide. Be sure you can do this with calculus. The largest possible volume is cubic inches.

According to postal regulations, a package in the shape of a rectangular box is considered to be "oversized" if the sum of its height and its girth (the perimeter of its base) exceeds 108 inches. Assuming that the box has a square base, find the dimensions x and h that will maximize the volume of the box without causing the box to be oversized. (girth = x + x + x + x = 4x)

A delivery company requires that any box delivered must have a length plus girth (distance around) totaling no more than 138 inches. Find the dimensions of the box with maximum volume that can be sent. [Note: Using the figure to the right, 138 = (length + girth) = z + (2x + 2y).] The dimensions of the box with maximum volume that can be sent are inches. (Simplify your answer. Use a comma to separate answers as needed.)
