Let w = width in inches, h = height in inches, and l = length in inches.
Without loss of generality, let
wh = 12,
hl = 24, and
lw = 32.
The first two equations imply that
==> l = 2w ==> (2w)w = 32 after substitution into the 3rd equation.
==> ==> w = 4 inches.
==> l = 8 inches, and h = 3 inches.
Therefore the volume is 3*4*8 = 96 cubic inches.
