x<7.5
To find the maximum volume of the box:
A square of side x inches is cut from each corner of the sheet and the remaining flaps folded up to make the topless box.
The box therefore has a height of x", length of 20 - 2x and width of 15 - 2x.
Volume is thus x * (20 - 2x) * (15 - 2x) ie 300x - 70x2 + 4x3
The volume is greatest when this has a maximum value:
f(x) = 300 - 140x + 12x2 (or 12x2 - 140x + 300)
Quadratic formula gives a value within the limit of x = 2.83 representing a box 14.34 * 9.34 * 2.83 ie 379.04 cu in.

A solid metal cube of side 6 inches is placed in a rectangular tank whose length width and height are 1 2 and 3 feet What is the volume in cubic units of water that the tank can now hold?
With nothing else in the tank, the tank's capacity is (1 x 2 x 3) = 6 cubic feet.The volume of the metal cube is (1/2 x 1/2 x 1/2) = 1/8th cubic foot.When the cube is in the tank, there are (6 - 1/8th) = 5 and 7/8ths cubic feet of capacity left for water.
