A square sheet of cardboard 100 cm by 100 cm is to have corners of side length
x cut out. These cutouts will create flaps that can be folded up to form a box with no lid.
The length and width of the base of the box are given by the expression (100 – 2x), and
the height of the box is x, where x is in centimetres.
a) Express the volume
of the box as a function of x.
b) Express the surface area of the box as a function
of x.
c) What is a simplified expression for the ratio of the volume of the box to
its surface area? Identify any non-permissible values of x.
d) Find the value of the
ratio for the box for each value of x.
i) 10 cm
ii) 20 cm
iii)
30 cm
