Answer:
The maximum volume of the open box is 24.26 cm³
Step-by-step explanation:
The volume of the box is given as
, where
and
.
Expand the function to obtain:

Differentiate wrt x to obtain:

To find the point where the maximum value occurs, we solve



Discard x=3.54 because it is not within the given domain.
Apply the second derivative test to confirm the maximum critical point.
, 
This means the maximum volume occurs at
.
Substitute
into
to get the maximum volume.

The maximum volume of the open box is 24.26 cm³
See attachment for graph.
N(3)-8=16
add 8 to both sides
3n=24
Divide each side by three
n=8

Using Heron's Formula we can find the area of the triangle.
A = root (s (s-a) * (s-b) * (s-c))
s = (a + b + c) / 2
Where,
s: semi-perimeter
a, b, c: sides of the triangle
Substituting values:
s = (15 + 16 + 20) / 2
s = 25.5
s = 26
The area will be:
A = root (26 * (26-15) * (26-16) * (26-20))
A = 130.9961832
A = 130 u ^ 2
Answer:
The area of triangle ABC is:
C.
130 u ^ 2
The answer is B. Thank you
