Fed Ex Express: 130 in.
UPS: 165 in.
My first chart was for Fed Ex Express. My box design was a square face in which w=h. How i generalized it was when my total was 130 my width and height was x. To find the length i would have to find girth first because total minus the girth equals the length. Since my box design is a square face all the sides had to be equal. So i founded that the girth was 4x. So my length is (130-4x). Now i had to find the volume expression. My volume expression is =(130-4x)(x)(x) because length times width times height equals the volume.
My second chart was for UPS. My box design for that was also a square face so i had to repeat the same steps i used for the first chart to generalize. I started off with x. My total was 165. My girth was also 4x. The width and height would be x because its equal to whatever number i used. I found that my length was (165-4x). My volume expression is =(165-4x)(x)(x).
In conclusion i founded that as the number me and my teammates used gets smaller the maximum and minimum volume increases.
