Question
Open Box I: A rectangular box with a square base and no top (Figure 8-3j) is to be constructed using a total of 120 cm2 of cardboard.a. Find the dimensions of the box of maximumvolume.b. Make a conjecture about the depth of themaximum-volume box in relation to the baselength if the box has a fixed surface area.
Solution
The first step in solving 8-3 problem number 16 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: Open Box I: A rectangular box with a square base and no top (Figure 8-3j) is to be constructed using a total of 120 cm2 of cardboard.a. Find the dimensions of the box of maximumvolume.b. Make a conjecture about the depth of themaximum-volume box in relation to the baselength if the box has a fixed surface area.
From the textbook chapter Maxima and Minima in Plane and Solid Figures you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
