Answer: 6 feet x 3 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the height be given by= x

The length is= 6x -2 (1) from both sides= 6x-2

The width is= 3x-2(1) from both sides= 3x-2

The total volume= length * width * height

4=(6x-2)*(3x-2)*x

Solving we get,

x=1 and other factor is not the valid option.

So the outer dimensions should be 6 feet x 3 feet
