Answer:

She should cut 1.21 inches (or a square of area 1.46 inch²) from 4 corners to get the maximum volume

Step-by-step explanation:

Length = L = 10 inches

Width = W = 6 inches

Suppose x is cut from the 4 corners to make a box.

Dimensions of the Box:

L= 10 - 2x

W = 6 - 2x

H = x

Volume of the Box:

V = (L)(W)(H)

V = (10-2x)(6-2x)(x)

V = 4x³ -  32x² + 60x

For Maximum value:

\frac{dV}{dx}=0

\frac{dV}{dx}=\frac{d}{dx}(4x^3-32x+60x)\\\frac{dV}{dx}=12x^2-64x+60\\12x^2-64x+60 = 0

The values of x found are:

x= 4.12 , x = 1.21

If we put x= 4.12 in W= 6-2x , the value of width becomes negative, so that is not possible.

We discard 4.12. Now x=1.21

So,

If 1.21 inches are cut from 4 corners, or a square of 1.21*1.21 = 1.46 inch² is cut from 4 corners, we get the maximum value of V

Let
x--------------> the complete figure 
we know that
the figure is divided into 6 equal parts
x= (x/6)+(x/6)+(x/6)+(x/6)+(x/6)+(x/6)
red=(x/6)+(x/6)--------> red=(2x/6)=x/3
blue=(x/6)+(x/6)+(x/6)+(x/6)=(4x/6)=2x/3

Rashad say that 2/4 of the figure is red-------> Rashad is wrong
because (2/4) <span>It is half of the figure

</span>the correct thing is to say (1/3) o the figure is red and (2/3) of the figure is blue

The inverse, converse and contrapositive of a statement are used to determine the true values of the statement

<h3>How to determine the inverse, converse and contrapositive</h3>

As a general rule, we have:

If a conditional statement is: If p , then q .

Then:

  • Inverse -> If not p , then not q .
  • Converse -> If q , then p .
  • Contrapositive -> If not q , then not p .

Using the above rule, we have:

<u>Statement 1</u>

  • Inverse: If a parallelogram does not have a right angle, then it is not a rectangle.
  • Converse: If a parallelogram is a rectangle, then it has a right angle.
  • Contrapositive: If a parallelogram is a not rectangle, then it does not have a right angle.

All three statements above are true

<u>Statement 2</u>

  • Inverse: If two angles of one triangle are not congruent to two angles of another, then the third angles are not congruent.
  • Converse: If the third angles of two triangle are congruent, then the two angles are congruent to two angles of another
  • Contrapositive: If the third angles of two triangle are not congruent, then the two angles are not congruent to two angles of another

All three statements above are also true
