Question 1013830: An open box is to be formed out of a rectangle piece of cardboard whose length is 12cm longer than its width. To form the box, a square of side 5 cm will be removed from each corner of the cardboard. Then the edges of the remaining cardboard will be turned up. If the box was to hold at most 1900 cm^3, what mathematical statement would represent the given situation?

.
W=width; L=length=W+12cm; H=height=5cm; V=volume<=1900cm^3
.
L%2AW%2AH%3C=1900cm%5E3
%28W%2B12%29%28W%29%285%29%3C=1900cm%5E3
W%5E2%2B12W%3C=380cm%5E3
W%5E2%2B12W-380cm%5E3%3C=0
