I start with a rectangle and cut a square from each corner in such a way as to maximise the volume of the resultant box formed by folding up the sides. It turns out that the squares I cut out are unit squares (1 inch sides) and the resultant box has a length and width both of which are an integer number of inches. What are the dimensions of the original rectangle?
