Make an open-top box from a rectangle of cardboard 9 by 15 inches by cutting a square from each corner and folding up the sides. The box needs to have the maximum possible volume.

If each square you cut out of the corner is x by x inches, write an expression or function for the volume of the box, V(x), in terms of x. Show all your work.

Plot the function to find the maximum. Clearly label or state the (x, y) coordinates of the value of x that optimizes the function and the maximum volume (y).

How many pennies would it take to fill the box?

On traditional maps, earth is represented in a flat plane, or by euclidean geometry. however, a globe is a more accurate model that comes from elliptical geometry. how does a globe represent the fact that there are no parallel lines in elliptical geometry? the equator is not parallel to any other latitudinal lines. the north and south poles are never connected by a geodesic. the geodesics connecting the north and south poles never intersect. the geodesics connecting the north and south poles intersect at both of the poles.
