According to U.S. postal regulations, the girth plus the length of a parcel sent by mail may not exceed 108 inches, where by "girth" we mean the perimeter of the smallest end. What is the largest possible volume of a rectangular parcel with a square end that can be sent by mail? Such a package is shown below, with and measured in inches. Assume . What are the dimensions of the package of largest volume? X y X Find a formula for the volume of the parcel in terms of and . Volume = cubic inches The problem statement tells us that the parcel's girth plus length may not exceed 108 inches. In order to maximize volume, we assume that we will actually need the girth plus length to equal 108 inches. What equation does this produce involving and ?

The plans call for a 18ft by 15ft slab of concrete 8 inches thick. (a) Convert the volume of concrete to cubic yards. (Hint: A cube that is one yard on each side is also 3 feet on each side. You can use that to find a conversion factor from cubic feet to cubic yards.) If necessary, round to two decimal places. Rounding to two decimal places, they will need 6.67 cubic yard(s) of concrete.
