Question

From each corner of a square of tin, 12 cm on a side, small squares of side x are removed and the edges are turned up to form an open box. Express the volume V

(cm3) as a function of x. Determine the range of x.

Answer 1

Hello. I will be happy to assist you.

The base will be 12 - 2x by 12-2x, height will be x.
V = x(12-2x)^2.
range of x: 0 < x < 6.

Hope that helps.
