Note: Remember to show all of the steps that you use to solve the problem. You can use the
comments field to explain your work. Your teacher will review each step of your responses to
questions 13–19 to ensure you receive proper credit for your answers.
The design of a digital box camera maximizes the volume while keeping the sum of the
dimensions at 6 inches. If the length must be 1.5 times the height, what should each dimension
be?
Hint: Let x represent one of the dimensions, and then define the other dimensions in terms of x.
