Hello.
To get the volume 5184 in3 you can use the dimension 18in x 24in x 12in.
First, you should draw a picture of your shipping container. It is a rectangular prism that is 5 by 12 by 4.
Next, let's look at the boxes of apples that will go into the box. The volume has to be 5184 in^3. If we divide it by 12 and 12, the answer is 3. Therefore, we could make a box that is 1 foot by 1 foot by 3 feet.
Those boxes would be stack on the base without any left over space. Now, just figure out how many would go on the next rows. They would be able to stand up and down.
Have a nice day.

LL = 1/2 * Hsqrt3
7sqrt3 = 1/2 * ysqrt3
24.25 = ysqrt3
24.25/sqrt3 = y
y = 14
Volume of prism = area of base * height
= area of triangle * height
(in this case triangle)
Volume = ( 0.5*13*13)*7
= (84.5)*7
= 591.5
answer is C
