The U.S. Postal Service declared that the girth plus the length of Standard Post Package must not exceed 130''. Given a rectangular box, the "length'' is the longest side, and the "girth'' is twice the sum of the width and the height. Given a rectangular box where the width and height are equal, what are the dimensions of the box that give the maximum volume subject to the constraint of the size of a Standard Post Package?
