Problem 81Multiple Choice

A shipping company is designing a rectangular crate with a square base to maximize volume for domestic delivery. Shipping regulations require that the sum of the length and the girth (the distance around the four sides of the base) must not exceed $72$ inches. Let the base have a side length $x$ inches, and let the length of the box be $l$ inches. Identify the value of $x$ that gives the maximum volume.

A

$x equals 8 in$

B

$x equals 14 in$

C

$x equals 10 in$

D

$x equals 12 in$
