288%2F%286%5E2%29=8
The box might hold eight stacks of cookies, ignoring height. How many cookies depends on how many cookies in one stack.

------------
The area of each cookie is 36*pi = ~ 113 sq cms
-------
If the width of the box is less than 12 cms ---> zero (0) unless they're placed "vertically."
The height of the box is not given.
A useless problem.
