I'm here again bothering you, I have this problem, but have no idea about how to start the problem solving:
The USPS will accept packages only if the length plus girth is no more than 108 inches.
Assuming that the front face is square, what is the largest volume package that the USPS will accept?
I have attached a picture of the package that is shown on the problem.
I know that I have not attempted to do this problem, but as I explained, I just want to know how to start it, because the professor never explained a similar problem, he just did it with area and the volume of a box that needed to have some squares cut to use it as an open box
some formulas I know I need are:
g(girth) = 2(W + H)
V = L x W x H
that's all I know
please help =(
