I need to make a topless box and maximize the voliume. To do this I have a 20x28cm piece of paper. I cut off four corners, but they must all be squares of the same size. Then It looks like this:
(Hope fully, the spaces show up)
Fold the four side rectangles, to make a box wiht no top. What are the dimensions of the square that I should cut out :?:
P. S. I managed to obtain a voliume of 960 cm by making the dimensions 4x4. But I know that the max is a little more than 961, with dimensions approxamatly 3.8. But I want an exact answer.
P.S.S. This might be pre calc, but the assignment is from Honors A2.
