Question

A box without a top is to be made from a rectangular piece of cardboard measuring 1.5 yd by 3 2 yd by cutting out square corners with asido longth of x and then folding up and securing the sidesWhat expression represents the volume. V. of the box in terms of ?

Answer 1

ok

Volume = length x width x height

length = 3.2 - 2x

width = 1.5 - 2x

height = x

V = (3.2 - 2x)(1.5 - 2x)(x) This is the expresion to calculate the volume

V = 4x^3 -9.4x^2 + 4.8x This is the simplifed expression
