Apiece of cardboard is 1 meter by 1/21/2 meter. a square is to be cut from each corner and the sides folded up to make an open-top box. what are the dimensions of the box with maximum possible volume?

The maximum dimensions of the box:

Length of the box  = 0.788676 m

Breadth of the box  = 0.288676 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Original piece of cardboard is a square with sides of length s.

Length of the card board = l = 1 m

Breadth of cardboard = b = 1/2 m = 0.5 m

Squares with sides of length x are cut out of each corner of a rectangular cardboard to form a box.

Now, length of the box = L = 1 - 2x

And breadth of the box = B = 0.5 - 2x

Height of the box ,H = x

Volume of the box ,V= L × B × H

x = 0.394338  , 0.105662

When , , (maxima)

The maximum dimensions of the box:

Length of the box = L = 1 - 2x = 1 - 2(0.105662) m = 0.788676 m

Breadth of the box = B = 0.5 - 2x = 0.5 - 2(0.105662) m = 0.288676 m

ok

step-by-step explanation:

the function makes a strait line horizontally with no x intercept but a y intercept at 9.
