An open box is formed from a rectangular piece of cardboard, whose length is 3 inches more than it's width, by cutting 3 inch sq
uares from each corner and folding up the sides. if the volume of the box is to be 264 in^2, find the size of the original piece of cardboard. what are the original dimensions of the piece of cardboard
First we need to put it in slope intercept form (solve for y). Then we get tex]y= -\frac{2}{3} x+490[/tex]. So the slope is-2/3 and the y intercept is 490.
