Chapter 6.3, Problem 39E
Constructing a Box A box can be formed by cutting a square out of each corner of a piece of tin and folding the sides up. Suppose the piece of tin is 18 inches by 18 inches and each side of the square that is cut out has length x.
- a. Write an expression for the height of the box that is constructed.
- b. Write an expression for the dimensions of the base of the box that is constructed.
- c. Use the formula V = lwh to find an equation that represents the volume of the box.
- d. Use the equation that you constructed to find the values of x that make V = 0.
- e. For which of these values of x does a box exist if squares of length x are cut out and the sides are folded up?
