A box with a square base and no top is to be made from a square piece of carboard by cutting 4 in. squares from each corner and folding up the sides. The box is to hold 1444 in3. How big a piece of cardboard is needed

Respuesta :

Answer:

[tex]C=27inch\ by\ 27inch[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Squares [tex]h=4inch[/tex]

Volume [tex]v=1444in^3[/tex]

Generally the equation for Volume of box is mathematically given by

 [tex]V=l^2h[/tex]

 [tex]1444=l^2*4[/tex]

 [tex]l^2=361[/tex]

 [tex]l=19in[/tex]

Since

Length of cardboard is

 [tex]l_c=19+4+4[/tex]

 [tex]l_c=27in[/tex]

Therefore

Dimensions of the piece of cardboard is

[tex]C=27inch\ by\ 27inch[/tex]
