Who wants to do a real-life optimization calculus problem for me?

I’m a dork, and I want to figure out the optimum dimensions for a piece of luggage I can check on an airplane. The airline I’m flying on says I can have a maximum total length, width, and height of 62 inches. What would be the dimensions that would yield the maximum volume?

FYI, this is not a homework problem, this is for real life applications. I could do the calculus myself, but I’m a little rusty and it would be a struggle. I’m hoping some math genius has some free time on hand.
what is the maximum luggage that a person can carry without paying extra?
manivannan asked:
Ganesh and Shankar travel abroad and take more luggage than the airlines allow. They
have to pay extra money for it. They carry 52 kgs together and pay $60 and $100
respectively. Now, if the same luggage was carried by only Ganesh it would cost him
$340. If the airlines charges only at one rate for extra luggage what is the maximum
luggage that a person can carry without paying extra?
