vol of cone ; 1/3 * pi * r^2 *h
r has to be max to get max vol ; let side of base = 2 ; r = 1
h = 4
we get vol=
\((\frac{4}{3})π\)

The maximum possible diameter of cone that can fit in the box, d= max{min(2,4), min(2,4), min(2,2)}=2
radius, r= 1 inches
height, h= 4 inches
Volume= \(\frac{1}{3}* pi* r^2*h\)= \(\frac{1}{3}*pi*1^2*4\)= \(\frac{4}{3} pi\)
