A courier service will deliver a package only if the length plus girth does not exceed 96 inches. Find the dimensions of a rectangular box with square ends that satisfies the courier service's restriction and has maximum volume. (if l is the longest dimension, then the length plus girth is l+ 2 (sum of the lengths of the shorter sides)
