Geometry

A rectangular package sent by a delivery service can have a maximum combined length and girth (perimeter of a cross section) of 120 inches (see figure).

(a) Show that the volume of the package is given by the function \(V(x) = 4x^2(30 - x)\).

(b) Use a graphing utility to graph the function and approximate the dimensions of the package that yield a maximum volume.

(c) Find values of x such that V = 13,500. Which of these values is a physical impossibility in the construction of the package? Explain.

Text Transcription:
