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)
1.1
66.924
1.2
69.312
1.3
71.188
1.4
72.576
1.5
73.5
1.6
73.984
1.7
74.

The “Ban the Box” is a law that took effect on January 1, 2014, and it inhibits companies from asking about a potential employee’s criminal history on the initial applications for employment (Deitchler, Fliegel, Fitzke, & Mora, 2013). The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) endorsed this Ban the Box in that its contemplation of criminal history of arrests or convictions in the Title Ⅶ of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (Deitchler, Fliegel, Fitzke, & Mora, 2013). It is directly related to employer’s ability to hire those employees with a criminal past to be compliant with the fair employment requirements. Employers have a balancing act to perform because they should be aware of risks related to negligent hiring. In the case of litigation

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.

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. Great quality packaging boxes might be utilized for capacity and for conveying things that must be dispatched to your customers.
