Part I
We have the size of the sheet of cardboard and we'll use the variable "x" to represent the length of the cuts. For any given cut, the available distance is reduced by twice the length of the cut. So we can create the following equations for length, width, and height.
width: w = 12 - 2x
length: l = 18 - 2x
height: h = x
Part II
v = l * w * h
v = (18 - 2x)(12 - 2x)x
v = (216 - 36x - 24x + 4x^2)x
v = (216 - 60x + 4x^2)x
v = 216x - 60x^2 + 4x^3
v = 4x^3 - 60x^2 + 216x
Part III
The length of the cut has to be greater than 0 and less than half the length of the smallest dimension of the cardboard (after all, there has to be something left over after cutting out the corners). So 0 < x < 6
Let's try to figure out an x that gives a volume of 224 in^3. Since this is high school math, it's unlikely that you've been taught how to handle cubic equations, so let's instead look at integer values of x. If we use a value of 1, we get a volume of:
v = 4x^3 - 60x^2 + 216x
v = 4*1^3 - 60*1^2 + 216*1
v = 4*1 - 60*1 + 216
v = 4 - 60 + 216
v = 160
Too small, so let's try 2.
v = 4x^3 - 60x^2 + 216x
v = 4*2^3 - 60*2^2 + 216*2
v = 4*8 - 60*4 + 216*2
v = 32 - 240 + 432
v = 224
And that's the desired volume.
So let's choose a value of x=2.
Reason?
It meets the inequality of 0 < x < 6 and it also gives the desired volume of 224 cubic inches.

Answer: his pay for the 4th year is $1453.16
Step-by-step explanation:
The landlord raises the rent 1.25% each year. It means that the rent is increasing in geometric progression.
The formula for determining the nth term of a geometric progression is expressed as
Tn = ar^(n - 1)
Where
a represents the first term of the sequence.
r represents the common ratio.
n represents the number of terms.
From the information given,
a = $1,400
r = 1 + 1.25/100 = 1.0125
n = 4 years
The 4th term(year), T4 is
T4 = 1400 × 1.0125^(4 - 1)
T4 = 1400 × 1.0125^3
T4 = $1453.16
First, classify each line segments of triangle that are the same in both triangles.
RS = XU
RT = XW
ST = WU
Second, divide to find the scale ratio.
7.5/3 = 2.5
16/6.4 = 2.5
15/6 = 2.5
Since the scale ratios are identical, the triangles are similar.
Therefore, the answer is [ Yes, the sides are in the ratio 2:5 ]
Best of Luck!
