You are constructing a cardboard box from a piece of cardboard with the dimensions 2 m by 4 m. You then cut equal-size squares from each corner so you may fold the edges. What are the dimensions (in m) of the box with the largest volume? Set up and evaluate the optimization problem. 2 m X shorter side 2 longer side 4 height 2 X E E m 4 m X X You are constructing a cardboard box from a piece of cardboard with the dimensions 2 m by 4 m.
