Geometry You want to make an open box from a rectangular piece of material, 15 centimeters by 9 centimeters, by cutting equal squares from the corners and turning up the sides. (a) Let x represent the side length of each of the squares removed. Draw a diagram showing the squares removed from the original piece of material and the resulting dimensions of the open box. (b) Use the diagram to write the volume V of the box as a function of x . Determine the domain of the function. (c) Sketch the graph of the function and approximate the dimensions of the box that yield a maximum volume. (d) Find values of x such that V = 56 . Which of these values is a physical impossibility in the construction of the box? Explain.

Solution Summary: The author illustrates the diagram showing the squares removed from a rectangular piece of material with dimensions 15 centimetres and 9cm and the resulting dimensions of the open box.
Geometry You want to make an open box from a rectangular piece of material, 15 centimeters by 9 centimeters, by cutting equal squares from the corners and turning up the sides.
(a) Let
x
represent the side length of each of the squares removed. Draw a diagram showing the squares removed from the original piece of material and the resulting dimensions of the open box.
(b) Use the diagram to write the volume
V
of the box as a function of
x
. Determine the domain of the function.
(c) Sketch the graph of the function and approximate the dimensions of the box that yield a maximum volume.
(d) Find values of
x
such that
V
=
56
. Which of these values is a physical impossibility in the construction of the box? Explain.
Please help I'm a working mom trying to help my son last minute (6th grader)! Need help with the blank ones and check the ones he got with full calculation so we can use it to study! Especially the mixed number fractions cause I'm rusty. Thanks in advance!
