The optimum shape of such a box is half a cube. The corresponding cube will have a volume of 2×256 ft³ = 512 ft³ = (8 ft)³. Such a box has a square base that is 8 ft on a side. If the height is half that of the cube, it will be 4 ft.
The dimensions of your box will be 8 ft square by 4 ft high.
_____
If the base dimension is x ft, the area (quantity of material) is
... a = x² + 4x(256/x²)
... a = x² + 1024x⁻¹
Then the derivative of area with respect to x is
... a' = 2x -1024x⁻²
Setting this derivative to zero and solving for x gives the value of x for minimum area.
... 0 = 2x -1024/x²
... 512 = x³
... x = 8 . . . . . . . . same as above.

Answer: 7n
Step-by-step explanation
a product is the multiplication answer. so a number- n- multiplied by 7 is 7n.
Since we know the side length of the square (6), we can calculate its diagonal using pythagoras.
diag d = √(6²+6²) = 6√2 in
The diagonal is also the diameter of the circle! So the radius of the circle is half of that:
radius r = d/2 = 3√2 in
The area of the circle is πr² = π(3√2)² = 18π in²
There is an inverse corollation between the values of A and B. Specifically, a 3 unit change increase in A results in a 4 unit decrease in B
