Consider rectangular box with

  • length x units (x≥0);
  • width 3 units;
  • height (8-x) units (8-x≥0, then x≤8).

The volume of the rectangular box can be calculated as

V_{box}=\text{length}\cdot \text{width}\cdot \text{height}.

In your case,  

V_{box}=3\cdot x\cdot (8-x).

Note that maximal possible value of the height can be 8 units (when x=0 - minimal possible length) and the minimal possible height can be 0 units (when x=8 - maximal possible length).

From the attached graph you can see that the greatest x-intercept is x=8, then the height will be minimal and lenght will be maximal.

Then the volume will be V=0 (minimal).

Answer: correct choices are B (the maximum possible length), C (the minimum possible height)
