A box without a top is to be made by cutting squares measuring 5 cm on a side from each corner of a square piece of tin and folding up the sides.
\n" ); document.write( " Find the dimensions of the box, if it is to have a volume of 7220 cm^3.
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "We know the height of the box is 5 cm and the bottom is square
\n" ); document.write( "then we can just find the area of the bottom by:
\n" ); document.write( "7220/5 = 1440
\n" ); document.write( "Find the sides (s) of the square bottom
\n" ); document.write( "s = \"sqrt%281440%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "s = 38 cm
\n" ); document.write( ";
\n" ); document.write( "The box dimensions: 38 by 38 by 5
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Find the vol to check it
\n" ); document.write( "38 * 38 * 5 = 7220 \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
