Problem
A rectangular box is inscribed in a sphere of radius . The surface area of is 384, and the sum of the lengths of it's 12 edges is 112. What is ?
Solution
The box P has dimensions , , and . Therefore,
Now we make a formula for . Since the diameter of the sphere is the space diagonal of the box,
We square :
We get that
