Question 1064918: A storage shed is to be built w two square sides, a back and a top. The shed is to be constructed of 900 square feet of corrugated steel with width and height x, and length y. Find the dimensions for which the volume will be a maximum.

The shape that will give you the greatest volume is a cube. Since you are construction one with 4 sides, then:
900/4=225 sq.ft. max each side
length=width, and length x width=225
√225=15ft. length and width of each side. ☺☺☺☺
