You have just won an unusual prize in the "raise Money for Math Students" raffle. You get to enter a gold shop with a piece of cardboard 8.5x11inches, some scissors, and tape. you are allowed to keep all the gold dust you can carry out in an open box you make from this cardboard by cutting equal squares from each corner and turning up the sides, with the following restrictions!

here is a curveball...

largest prize allowed is 55cubic inches of gold dust.

and obvi you cant have gold dust over the top of your box.

lwh=55in^3
