    Let the three sides of the box be P, Q and R.

    Now we know the area of rectangle is l * b.

    P * Q = 240

    P * R = 300

    Q * R = 180

    Let us multiply these three equations:

    (P*Q) (P*R) (R*S) = 240 * 300 * 180

    P^2 * Q ^2 * R^2 = 12960000

    (P*Q*R) ^2 = 12960000

    P*Q*R = 3600

    Now we know that P*Q = 240

    Thus R = 3600/240 = 15.

    Similarly putting and solving for other variables, we get

    P = 20 units

    Q = 12 units

    R = 15 units
