A sheet of paper 90 cm-by-66 cm is made into an open box (i.e. there's no top), by cutting x-cm squares out of each corner and f

olding up the sides. Find the value of x that maximizes the volume of the box. Give your answer in the simplified radical form. x =?? is the max.

Answer:

26 - \sqrt{181} cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of the box is:

V = height * length * width

V = x*(66 - 2*x)*(90 - 2*x)

V = (66*x - 2*x^2)*(90 - 2*x)

V = 5940*x - 132*x^2 - 180*x^2 + 4*x^3

V = 4*x^3 - 312*x^2 + 5940*x

where x is the length of the sides of the squares,  in cm.

The mathematical problem is :

Maximize: V = 4*x^3 - 312*x^2 + 5940*x

subject to:

x > 0

2*x < 66 <=> x < 33

In the maximum, the first derivative of V, dV/dx, is equal to zero

dV/dx = 12*x^2 - 624*x + 5940

From quadratic formula

x = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4(a)(c)}}{2(a)}

x = \frac{624 \pm \sqrt{(-624)^2 - 4(12)(5940)}}{2(12)}

x = \frac{624 \pm \sqrt{104256}}{24}

x = \frac{624 \pm \sqrt{2^6*3^2*181}}{24}

x = \frac{624 \pm 8*3*\sqrt{181}}{24}

x_1 = \frac{624 + 24*\sqrt{181}}{24}

x_1 = 26 + \sqrt{181}

x_2 = \frac{624 - 24*\sqrt{181}}{24}

x_2 = 26 - \sqrt{181}

But x_1 > 33, then is not the correct answer.

<h3><u>Answer:</u></h3>

Hence, the value of z is:

20

<h3><u>Step-by-step explanation:</u></h3>

The point C is the mid point of the line segment VW.

That is it divides the line segment VW into two equal segments.

i.e. Length of segment VC= Length of line segment CW.

Also we are given that:

Length VW=61

Length VC=z+13

and Length CW=z+8

This means that:

VC+CW=VW

i.e. z+13+z+8=61

⇒ 2z+21=61

⇒ 2z=61-21

⇒ 2z=40

⇒ z=20

Hence the value of z is:

20
