CAn you please help me with this question? An open box is to be constructed from a rectangular sheet of tin 3 meters wide by cutting out a 1-meter square from each corner and folding up the sides. The volume of the box is to be 2 cubic meters. What is the length of the tin rectangle?\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Let the length of the sheet be L
\n" ); document.write( "The width of the sheet is 3 meters\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "You are cutting of 1 meter square from the length and the width of the sheet.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "On the width side only 1 meter will be left which is folded . So this one meter will form the width of the box. Also the height of the box will also be 1 meter.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The volume of box = 2 cubic meters\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "L*W*H = 2 \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "L*1*1 = 2
\n" ); document.write( "L= 2
\n" ); document.write( "length is 2 meters\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Add 1 + 1 meter which you have cut off from both the corners of the length also.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So the length of the tin sheet will be 4 meters\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
