Answer:
The volume in such a package is 27648 in³
Step-by-step explanation:
Consider the provided information.
Postal regulations specify that a parcel sent by priority mail may have a combined length and girth of no more than 144 in.
Let the dimension are x by x by y.
Where x is the variable for the square base package and y is the variable for length.
Thus l=x, b=x and h=y
Then the volume of the box is:
(∵V=lbh)
The maximum combined length and girth is 144.
Therefore, 

Substitute the value of y in volume of the box.



Substitute V'(x)=0.



Now apply second derivative test.

(Min)
(Max)
Hence, the maximum volume is at x=24
If x=24 then 
Substituting value of x = 24 and y = 48
gives 27648.
Hence, the volume in such a package is 27648 in³
My father taught me a method that I call, 'throwing some thing over the wall'. There is a sample equation for the first picture that shows you how it works. It's a great way to help isolate the variable and I hope that it works for you. The second picture contains the answers I got through the use of this method. I'm sorry for the messy handwriting; I was on a bus.
Answer:
C=25+5.50n
Step-by-step explanation:
C=25+5.50n where c is the total cost and n is the number of hours the clown entertains.
Perimeter is 10 units while the area is 8 units I believe but that’s just by counting the boxes
