Answer:
2.67 inches.
Step-by-step explanation:
Assuming that we represent the size of the squares with the letter y, such that after the squares are being cut from each corner, the rectangular length of the box that is formed can now be ( 23 - 2y), the width to be (13 - 2y) and the height be (x).
The formula for a rectangular box = L × B × W
= (23 -2y)(13-2y) (y)
= (299 - 46y - 26y + 4y²)y
= 299y - 72y² + 4y³
Now for the maximum volume:
dV/dy = 0
This implies that:
299y - 72y² + 4y³ = 299 - 144y + 12y² = 0
By using the quadratic formula; we have :

where;
a = 12; b = -144 and c = 299






Since the width is 13 inches., it can't be possible for the size of the square to be cut to be 9.33
Thus, the size of the square to be cut out from each corner to obtain the maximum volume is 2.67 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:
Step-by-step explanation:
Familiarize yourself with perfect squares in the neighborhood of 140:
10^2 = 100
11^2 = 121
12^2 = 144
Note that 140 is much closer to the perfect square than it is to the perfect square 121. The value of √140 must lie closer to 12 than to 11.
Place a point on the number line about 3/4 of the way from 11 to 12.

To simplify this expression we first need to apply the distributive property of the product. This means that we need to multiply the number outside of the parenthesis by each term of the sum inside the parenthesis. This is done below:

The simplified expression is "-20+12w".
