It is given that in △ABC, AD ⊥ BC. Using the definition of sine with angle C in △ACD results in sin(C) = . Using the multiplicat
ion property of equality to isolate h, the equation becomes bsin(C) = h. Knowing that the formula for the area of a triangle is A = bh is and using the side lengths as shown in the diagram, which expression represents the area of △ABC? bsin(C) absin(C) cbsin(C) hbsin(C)

Answer:
x=4 Inch
Step-by-step explanation:
Length of the Square = 24 Inches
If a Square of Length x cm is cut out from each corner
Length of the Box = 24-x-x=(24-2x) Inches
Width of the Box =24-x-x=(24-2x) Inches
Height of the box = x inches
Volume of a Cuboid = Length X Width X Height
V(x)= x(24-2x)(24-2x)
Simplifying
V(x)=4x(12-x)(12-x)
To determine the value of x at which V is largest, we take the derivative of V(x) and solve for the critical points.
V(x)=4x(12-x)(12-x)
Set the derivative equal to zero to obtain the critical points
x cannot be equal to 12 as it divides the length of the square cardboard into exactly two equal parts.
When x=4
V(4)=4*4(12-4)(12-4)=16*8*8=1024 Cubic Inches
When x=4 Inch, the volume, V of the open box is largest.
