Step-by-step explanation:
(-7 - 5)/(0 - 4)
(-12)/(-4)

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.
1/112 or 0.008929 hope that helps
There is no ones place after the decimal so 3 is in the tenth place, so 2.4
