If x represents the length of the box, then 42-x will be the girth. Since the largest area for a given girth is that of a square, the side length of the square cross section is (42 -x)/4.

The volume as a function of package length is then
.. v(x) = x((42-x)/4)^2
This has a maximum at x=14. The corresponding volume is 686 in^3.

Each gallon of shingle stain covers 120 square feet. How many gallons should you buy to cover 658 square feet?
hjlf
You need to divide 658 by 120 because you know one gallon covers 120 square feet.
