Answer:
is the size of the square
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the side of the square cut from the cardboard be “x”
Size of the square base =
, height of the box = x
Volume of square box = Area * height =
Differentiating the above equation and equating it to zero, we get –
d/dx
d/dx
= d/dx
d/dx
On solving above equation, we get –

You then would eliminate 6, by adding 6 to both sides

Then you want all of the X's on the same side, so you subtract 2x from both sides.

Then to isolate the X, you divide by 2

The answer is x=2
4 times 3(2) = 24
24 would be the answer
