Question 1054231
Let n be the length of the sides of the squares cut from the box. Then:
(11-2n)(14-2n)=80
154-50n+4n²=80
4n²-50n+74=0
2n²-25n+37=0
Using the quadratic formula, we get n=10.7845892868 or 1.7154107132. Throwing out the higher result, we get the size of the squares to be 1.7154107132 in. x 1.7154107132 in. &#9786;&#9786;&#9786;&#9786;
