so would it be 8 meters because it has 8 sides 

Volume is a three-dimensional scalar quantity. The maximum volume of the box is 0.8m³.

What is volume?

A volume is a scalar number that expresses the amount of three-dimensional space enclosed by a closed surface.

Surface area of the box = 2x² + 3xy

Surface area of lid = 2xy

Total area = 2x² + 5xy = 6

y = (6-2x²)/5x

Volume of the box, V = x²y

V = x²[(6-2x²)/5x] = (6x/5)-(2x³/5)

Now, for the volume to be the maximum,

dV/dx = 0

(6/5)-(6x²/5) = 0

x² = 1

x = ±1

y = 4/5

Thus, the maximum volume of the box = x²y = (1)²×(4/5) = 0.8 m³

Hence, the maximum volume of the box is 0.8m³.
