 # Shipping Cost Calculator
 
-## Input package weight and shipping rate
+## Input package weight, volume dimensions, and shipping rate
 weight = float(input("Enter the package weight in kilograms: "))
+length = float(input("Enter the package length in centimeters: "))
+width = float(input("Enter the package width in centimeters: "))
+height = float(input("Enter the package height in centimeters: "))
 rate = float(input("Enter the shipping rate per kilogram: "))
 
+## Calculate volumetric weight
+volumetric_weight = (length * width * height) / 5000
+
+## Choose the greater between actual and volumetric weight
+chargeable_weight = max(weight, volumetric_weight)
+
 ## Calculate shipping cost
-shipping_cost = weight * rate
+shipping_cost = chargeable_weight * rate
 
 ## Display the result
-print(f"Shipping Cost: {shipping_cost} USD")
