A machine produces open boxes using square sheets of metal. The machine cuts equal-sized squares measuring 2 inches on a side from the corners and then shapes the metal into an open box by turning up the sides. If each box must have a voulume of 50 cubic inches, find the length and width of the open box. . . The length and width of the open box are both ___ inches.

Verified Answer :

For us to find the length and width of the open box which
each has a volume of 50 cubic inches, then x is equal to 2.  Then it would look like this: width is equal
length which is equal to x-2-2 and which is also equal to x-4 and h is equal to

  1. Then through derivation, width and length which is equal to x-4 will be

equal to -5. But since there’s no way that length and width can be negative,
the answer for it would be 5.
