Hints:[br]1. Triangle EFC is similar to triangle ABC[br]2. Area of Rect = (x) ( y)
Plot the function for the area of rectangle (Use [math]y=\frac{5}{12}x\left(12-x\right)[/math])
Calculate the value of x for which A has a stationary value. x=
Is this a max or minimum point ?
Plot the function for the volume of the box. (Use y instead of V)
Calculate the value of x for which V has a stationary value. x=
Is this a Max or min point ?
