Suppose an airline policy states that all baggage must be​ box-shaped with a sum of​ length, width, and height not exceeding 144 in. What are the dimensions and volume of a​ square-based box with the greatest volume under these​ conditions?

110592 in³

Step-by-step explanation:

Since baggage should take the shape of a box; with the sum of it's dimension not exceeding 144 ;

Dimensions of a box : length, width, height

If ; l + w + h = 144

Greatest volume is obtained when the dimension is equal : such that l = w = h

Hence, each dimension becomes ; 144 / 3 = 48 in

Volume of box = length * width * height

Volume = 48 * 48 * 48

Volume = 48³ = 110592

answer:  

step-by-step explanation:

here x represents the height of the pole,

and, the height of the shadow of the pole is 12 feet.

also, the angle of elevation from the top of the pole is 40°,

therefore,

by the low of sine,

which is the required equation for finding the value of x,
