A company is manufacturing an open-top rectangular box. From 36 inches by 20 inches sheets of material, the bins are made by cutting squares the same size from each corner of a sheet, bending up the sides, and sealing the corner. Create an equation relating the volume V(x) of the box to the length of the corner cut out x. Then state the appropriate domain for V(x)?

On traditional maps, earth is represented in a flat plane, or by euclidean geometry. however, a globe is a more accurate model that comes from elliptical geometry.how does a globe represent the fact that there are no parallel lines in elliptical geometry? the equator is not parallel to any other latitudinal lines. the north and south poles are never connected by a geodesic. the geodesics connecting the north and south poles never intersect. the geodesics connecting the north and south poles intersect at both of the poles.
