The Boxes for Birthday Presents
02/01/2001
Tom, the older brother, made a rectangular box in which to pack his father's birthday present. The box was one foot in height, with a base diagonal of 37 inches. Tim, the younger brother (and the "smart one"), also made a rectangular box; it was one foot in height, with the same volume as Tom's box, and the base diagonal an integral number of inches. Tim's box required less material than did Tom's. The lengths and breadths of both boxes were an integral number of inches. What were the dimensions of Tim's box?
