If 600 cm2 of material is available to make a box with a square base and a closed top, find the maximum volume of the box in cubic centimeters. answer to the nearest cubic centimeter without commas. for example, if the answer is 2,000 write 2000.

The maximum volume of the box is:

              1000 cm³

Let x be the length of the square base

and h be the height(h) of the box.

As we know that the length(l) and width(w) of the box is same( since the base is in the shape of square)

As we know that the surface area of box is given by:

We are given surface area of box=600 cm²

Hence,

The volume of box is given by:

Hence,

Now, for maxima or minima we have derivative equal to zero.

Now,

Now, as we know if for a given x

then that x is a point of maxima.

Hence, when we put x=10 we get:  

Hence, x=10 is a point of maxima

Also, the value of V at x=10 is:

       Hence, the maximum volume of the box is:

                     1000 cm³
