Question 1186325: On a rectangular piece of cardboard with perimeter 13 inches, three parallel and equally spaced creases are made. (See Figure 1.) The cardboard is then folded along the creases to make a rectangular box with open ends. (See Figure 2.) Letting x represent the distance (in inches) between the creases, use the ALEKS graphing calculator to find the value of x that maximizes the volume enclosed by this box. Then give the maximum volume. Round your responses to two decimal places. Answer by ikleyn(52835) (Show Source):
