Answer:

110592 in³

Step-by-step explanation:

Since baggage should take the shape of a box; with the sum of it's dimension not exceeding 144 ;

Dimensions of a box : length, width, height

If ; l + w + h = 144

Greatest volume is obtained when the dimension is equal : such that l = w = h

Hence, each dimension becomes ; 144 / 3 = 48 in

Volume of box = length * width * height

Volume = 48 * 48 * 48

Volume = 48³ = 110592
