13. A company needs to construct an open box for a high-end product. The box will be made from a square piece of tin 10 inches long on each side by cutting squares of equal size from each corner and bending up the resulting flaps. What are the dimensions of the box yielding the largest volume?

A box that holds an expensive pen has square ends, and its length is 13 cm longer than its width. The volume of the box is 60 cm³. Determine the dimensions of the box.

a rectangular piece of cardboard is 13 inches long and 9 inches wide. From each corner, a square piece is cut out, and then the flaps are turned up to form an open box. Use a graphing utility to determine the length (to the nearest tenth) of a side of one of the square pieces so that the volume of the box is as large as possible
