It seems reasonable that either a tall, narrow box or a short, flat box could
be formed having the desired volume. Because the taller box is preferred,
larger initial estimates of the height are reasonable. However, heights
greater than 2 decimeters are not physically possible (because the metal
is only 4 decimeters wide). Initial estimates of 1 and 2 decimeters are
therefore appropriate.
Find the desired height:
