The Open Box Problem
An open box is to be made from a sheet of card. Identical squares are
cut off the four corners of the card as shown in figure 1.

The card is then folded along the dotted lines to make the box.
The main aim of this activity is to determine the size of the square
cut out which makes the volume of the box as large as possible for any
given rectangular sheet of card.
1. For any sized square sheet of card, investigate the size of the
cut out square which makes an open box of the largest volume.
2. For any sized rectangular sheet of card, investigate the size of
the cut out square which makes an open box of the largest volume.
Question 1
----------
I began work on question 1, which was to investigate the correct cut
out size to satisfy the largest possible volume of the open box on any
sized square piece of card.
I started by using a square piece of card measuring 10 x 10.
To work out the volume for the open box with the variable being 'x' I
made a formula to help:
V=x(l-2x)(l-2x)
Here are my results:
size of cut out 'x' (cm)
volume (cm³)
1
64
2
72
3
48
4
16
The highest volume is 72cm³ with a cut out size of 2cm. I found that
the highest volume must have a cut out size of between 1 and 2cm so I
tried the formula for cut out sizes between 1 and 2cm:
size of cut out 'x' (cm)
volume (cm³)

69.312

74.
this is the best volume to use as it is about ¾ of a test tube full,

The other individual was furious – wondering why the author had not moved out of his way. The main point the author is trying to convey to the audience is that privileged people expect other people to cater to their needs; to stay out of their way (Boeskool). Privileged people in America expect everyone to tolerate them, and move out of their way. People in America want their ideas to be catered to – such as Christianity. However, once one begins to question, or not move out of their way, they get angry. Privileged people claim “religious reasons for gay marriage and so many more

Brownfields are abandoned, idled, or under-used industrial and commercial sites where expansion or redevelopment is complicated by real, or perceived environmental contamination that can add cost, time, and uncertainty to the redevelopment process. Throughout the country there are an estimated 450,000 brownfields. These vacant properties exist mostly in cities, serving no practical purpose, and act as both eyesores and environmental as well as economic pitfalls. The inner cities, where most brownfields exist, were once the only choice developers had in deciding where to build industry. However, since the birth of environmental laws and regulation, the redevelopment of these properties has become a complicated and often very costly procedure. This procedure causes many businesses and corporations to look outside of the inner cities and urban areas for locations to grow and develop. This trend not only leaves the inner cities vacant and economically useless, but also leads to urban sprawl, a phenomenon that leads to the development of greenfields, or the pristine, undeveloped land outside the confines of massive urban areas.
Almost a century has passed since two revolutionaries have been born to change the world: television and drugs. It is clear that both drugs and television made their way to society at the same time, but it doesn't seem that obvious what is that made them escalate together. Some studious people say that it may have to do with the presence of drugs in the media, but it remains a mystery. In 'Crack and the Box' by Pete Hamill, there is an intention to explain the reasons to this phenomenon. Hamill accuses television to be the instigator of drugs. However, his statements fall into contradiction because the effects of television watching cannot be compared to those of drug consumption.
Early in the year, its Northern Division designed a special retail display box in conjunction with the Thompson Division, which was equipped to make the box. Thompson, as one of Birch’s four producing divisions converted paperboard output into corrugated boxes. It also printed and colored the outside surface of the boxes. Birch’s Southern Division will supply the lineboard and corrugating medium to Thompson Division in the event the latter got the order from Northern.

The box can be created using thick paper or cardstock. A stronger structure is created by using thicker card or chipboard.
When you maintain a business the odds are you need to manage a lot of reports, strikingly when you need to send stock to customers. Cardboard packaging boxes are perfect for having your products securely delivered to your customers. They will likewise be helpful for holding the various records that, being a private company, you need to hold for around six years.
