A rectangular lot having an area of 5000 sq. meters is to be fenced on three sides. Find the minimum amount of fencing needed. Answer: A box is to be constructed from a piece of square cardboard whose perimeter is 36 inches by cutting equal squares out of the corners and then turning up the sides. Find the maximum volume of the box that can be made this way. Answer:
