The cuts should be
Given information:
You are making an open box to hold paper clips out of a piece of cardboard that is 5 inches by 8 inches. The box will be formed by making the cuts as shown in the diagram and folding up the sides. You want the box to have the greatest volume possible.
Formula used:
Volume of rectangular box is length times width times the height of the box.
Calculation:
The box will be formed by making the cuts of
The length of the box would be
To find the maximum volume, graph the volume function on a graphing calculator. Consider only the interval
It is visible that the maximum volume occurs when
