w width
h height
L length

First two equations formulas in terms of h.

Substitute into the volume equation:

Using graphing software, taking a decimal approximation for the one real root, h=10.235; and then w and L can be evaluated.

Maybe the "difference" interpretation was the wrong one, and different results might happen if, , but you can try that if you want, and solve to see what you get.
