You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Let the width and length of the box = +x+ and +y+ inches
So, I can say +1%2Ax%2Ay+=+56.23+ in3
+x%2Ay+=+56.23+ in2
---------------------
You are asked to add +13+-+1+=+12+ in to the height
The volume you are adding is:
+x%2Ay%2A12+=+56.23%2A12+
+56.23%2A12+=+674.76+ in3
-----------------------
The total volume of the box is now:
+56.23+%2B+674.76+=+730.99+
730.99 in3
---------------
check:
+730.99%2F13+=+56.23+ in2
which is the area of the base
---------------
hope I got it
