Create a rectangle with length 3 inches and width 5 inches (which is
similar to the figure in question scaled down by 5). The height of the box
is represented by the length of the square with side X. By measuring the
length of X (multiplied by 5), the volume can be calculated.
By animating the points H, the maximum volume, as well as the size of the
square that would produce a volume of 400 cubic inches, can be estimated.
Click above to see there is only 1 maximum value but 2 values of X that
produce a volume of 400.
