Question 414015

The answer you want is {{{20/3}}}. Since the short side is {{{8}}}, that's going to stay the {{{same}}} so you really don't have to worry about that. 

The side thats {{{20}}}" is going to be made into {{{3}}} sides, so you only have to figure out the maximum area for the side that's {{{20}}}". 

So you want to break {{{20}}} into {{{3}}} parts, which when multiplied together give you the largest product.

one part is  {{{8in }}} and two other could be {{{6in}}} both

In this case you just use {{{20/3}}}, which will give the file a total {{{volume }}}of around {{{V= 8*8*6=384in^3}}}. 

. How tall should the file be to maximize the volume that it can hold: {{{6in}}}
