Answer:
It is B.
Step-by-step explanation:
I am 99% sure im correct. dont get mad at me if im not
The answer is 144m.
Volume of square pyramid formula:
V = 1/3 * b * h
1728 = 1/3 * b * 36
1728 = 12b
1728/12 = b
b = 144
The maximum value that could be reached would be about 211.05 cubic inches.
The initial measurements of the box are:
Length: 17
Width: 12
Height: 0
Right now, the volume is zero. However, if we let the height equal 0 (the amount of the cut out), we can write the following equation for the volume.
Volume = (17 - 2x)(12 - 2x)x
If you graph this, you will find a maximum value of 211.05, keeping in mind that the cut out must be less than 6.
