X should equal to 17 but i dont see what ben did...
Length is 48 ft
The perimeter of a rectangle is equal to the sum of all side’s.
2(lengths)+2(widths)= perimeter
Length=3x+4
Now given the perimeter of 140
3(3x+4)+3(x)=140
9x+12+3x=140
12x+12=140
12x=128
X= 10.7
10.7 is the width
Length=3x+4
Length =3(10.6)+4
Length=31.8+4
Length=35.8
Answer = 35.8
This can only be answered if you were given a perimeter.
If you start with a 12x16 rectangle and cut square with side length x, when you bend the sides you'll have an inner rectangle with sides
and
, and a height of x.
So, the volume will be given by the product of the dimensions, i.e.

The derivative of this function is

and it equals zero if and only if

If we evaluate the volume function at these points, we have

So, the maximum volume is given if you cut a square with side length
