Answer:

The maximum  volume is 35316.4 in^3.

Step-by-step explanation:

Length + width + height is less than equal to 62 inches

Height = width = W

Let the length is L .

[tex]L + W + W = 62 \\\\L= 62 - 2 W\\\\Volume, V = L W H\\\\V = (62 - 2 W)\times W \times W\\\\V = 62 W^2 - 2 W^3\\\\\frac{dV}{dW}=124 W - 6 W^2\\\\So, \frac{dV}{dW} =0\\\\124 = 6 W\\\\W = 20.67 inches[/tex]

So, the maximum volume is

[tex]V =124\times 20.67\times 20.67 - 2 \times 20.67^3\\\\V =52978.86 - 17662.46 = 35316.4 inch^3[/tex]
