A candy box is to be made out of a piece of cardboard that measures 8 by 12 inches. Squares of equal size will be cut out of each corner, and then the ends and sides will be folded up to form a rectangular box. What size square should be cut from each corner to obtain a maximum volume? What is the maximum volume? Answer: The size of the square should be cut from each corner to obtain a maximum volume is (3 de3cimal places) inches, and the maximun volumen (1 decimal place) is cubic inches.
