Sort the following Boxes (described by their axis aligned perimeter measurements) by increasing volume.

Box 1 - 10, 18, 20

Box 2 - 14, 14, 26

Box 3 - 14, 14, 16

Box 4 - 12, 16, 24

Have fun!

Isn't increasing order smallest to largest?

Box 3: 3136, Box 1: 3600, Box 4: 4608, Box 2: 5096

21.125, 35, 42, and 48

Box 1: 10 * 18 * 20 = 3600

Box 2: 14 * 14 * 26 = 5096

Box 3: 14 * 14 * 16 = 3136

Box 4: 12 * 16 * 24 = 4608

So... Box 3, Box 1, Box 4 and last Box 2

I read perimiter and processed it as HxWxL and didn't realize I needed to figure out the H W and L by comparing the three perimiters and then finding the volumn with HxWxL. At least this is what I think you did, and if so, I conceed defeat. If not, I still conceed defeat but would like to know how you did it.

I interpreted the dimensions as perimeter in direction x (W+L+W+L), perimeter in direction y (H+W+H+W), and perimeter in direction z (H+L+H+L). From there, I calculated H, W, and L, and then calculated the volumes.

I believe dimensions are as follows:

box 1 is 2x3x7

box 2 is 0.5x6.5x6.5

box 3 is 3x4x4

box 4 is 1x5x7
