The strength S of a rectangular wooden beam is proportional to its width times the square of its depth. Find the dimensions of the strongest beam that can be cut from a cylindrical log. (Round answers to the nearest tenth.)

◦ w = 5.9 in.;  d = 10.8 in.
◦ w = 6.9 in.; d = 9.8 in.
◦ w = 7.9 in.; d = 10.8 in.
◦ w = 7.9 in.; d = 8.8 in.
