Answer:

Dimension of the box is $16.1\times 7.1\times 2.45$

The volume of the box is 280.05 in³.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The open rectangular box of maximum volume that can be made from a sheet of cardboard 21 in. by 12 in. by cutting congruent squares from the corners and folding up the sides.

To find : The dimensions and the volume of the box?

Solution :

Let h be the height of the box which is the side length of a corner square.

According to question,

A sheet of cardboard 21 in. by 12 in. by cutting congruent squares from the corners and folding up the sides.

The length of the box is $L=21-2h$

The width of the box is $W=12-2h$

The volume of the box is $V=L\times W\times H$

$V=(21-2h)\times (12-2h)\times h$

$V=(21-2h)\times (12h-2h^2)$

$V=252h-42h^2-24h^2+4h^3$

$V=4h^3-66h^2+252h$

To maximize the volume we find derivative of volume and put it to zero.

$V'=12h^2-132h+252$

$0=12h^2-132h+252$

Solving by quadratic formula,

$h=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$

$h=\frac{-(-132)\pm\sqrt{132^2-4(12)(252)}}{2(12)}$

$h=\frac{132\pm72.99}{24}$

$h=2.45,8.54$

Now, substitute the value of h in the volume,

$V=4h^3-66h^2+252h$

When, h=2.45

$V=4(2.45)^3-66(2.45)^2+252(2.45)$

$V\approx 280.05$

When, h=8.54

$V=4(8.54)^3-66(8.54)^2+252(8.54)$

$V\approx -170.06$

Rejecting the negative volume as it is not possible.

Therefore, The volume of the box is 280.05 in³.

The dimension of the box is

The height of the box is h=2.45

The length of the box is $L=21-2(2.45)=16.1$

The width of the box is $W=12-2(2.45)=7.1$

So, Dimension of the box is $16.1\times 7.1\times 2.45$

jonny [76]

We let x and y be the measures of the sides of the rectangular garden. The perimeter subtracted with the other side should be equal to 92.

2x + y = 92

The value of y in terms of x is equal to,

y = 92 – 2x

The area is the product of the two sides,

A = xy

Substituting,

A = x (92 – 2x) = 92x – 2x2

Solving for the derivative and equating to zero,

0 = 92 – 4x ; x = 23

Therefore, the area of the garden is,

A = 23(92 – 2(23)) = 1058 yard2
