By cutting away identical squares from each corner of a rectangular piece of cardboard and folding up the resulting flaps, an op
en box can be made. if the cardboard is 13 in. long and 6 in. wide and the square cutaways have dimensions of x in. by x in., find a function giving the volume v(x) of the resulting box.
Try sketching the cardboard piece labeling each side. when folded, the height of the box is x, the length is now (13 - 2x), the width is now (6 - 2x) after cutting out the squares from each corner.
