The length and width of a cardboard are 26 ft and 12 ft. We are going to cut out the corners and fold up the sides to form a box. Determine the height of the box that will give maximum volume. Note: Write only the numerical value of the height, the units are already written. Write the exact answer not the decimal 3+5 approximation (for example write not 0.8). Also, if the answer is Answer: The height of the box that will give maximum volume is 3+5 then write 4 ft or (3+sqrt(5))/4. The length and width of a cardboard are 26 ft and 12 ft.
