Answer:
a. 8.4 ft³
b. 4.44 ft × 2.44 ft × 0.78 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
a. <em>Maximum volume </em>
We are creating a box with dimensions
l = 6 – 2x
w = 4 – 2x
h = x
V = lwh = x(6 – 2x)(4 – 2x)
We must determine the value of x that makes V a maximum.
One way is to plot the function V = x(6 – 2x)(4 – 2x).
The maximum appears to be at about (0.78, 8.4).
Thus, the maximum volume is 8.4 ft³.
b.<em> Dimensions </em>
l = 6 – 2 × 0.78 = 6 – 1.56 = 4.44 ft
w = 4 – 2 × 0.78 = 4 – 1.56 = 2.44 ft
h = 0.78 ft
The box with maximum volume has dimensions 4.44 ft × 2.44 ft × 0.78 ft.
