Let the area of the floor = x^2 the area of the remaining 4 sides = c^2 −x^2 ∴ the height of tbe box = ((c^2 −x^2 )/(4x)) ∴ The vol. V(x)=(1/4)(c^2 −x^2 )x V^′ (x)=(1/4)(c^2 −3x^2 )=0⇒x^2 =(c^2 /3) V^(′′) (x)=−(3/2)x<0 ∀x ∴V_(max.) = (1/4)(c^2 −(c^2 /3))(c/( (√3))) = (c^3 /(6(√3))) proved.

volume of the box = V(x)= (c−2x)^2 x V′(x)= (c−2x)^2 −4(c−2x)x = 0 (c−2x){c−2x−4x} = 0 , x = (1/6)c V_(max) = (c−(1/3)c)^2 .((1/6)c) = (((4c^2 )/9))((c/6)) = ((2c^3 )/(27)) ■
$$\mathrm{volume}\:\mathrm{of}\:\mathrm{the}\:\mathrm{box}\:=\:\mathrm{V}\left(\mathrm{x}\right)=\:\left(\mathrm{c}−\mathrm{2x}\right)^{\mathrm{2}} \mathrm{x} \\ $$$$\mathrm{V}'\left(\mathrm{x}\right)=\:\left(\mathrm{c}−\mathrm{2x}\right)^{\mathrm{2}} −\mathrm{4}\left(\mathrm{c}−\mathrm{2x}\right)\mathrm{x}\:=\:\mathrm{0} \\ $$$$\left(\mathrm{c}−\mathrm{2x}\right)\left\{\mathrm{c}−\mathrm{2x}−\mathrm{4x}\right\}\:=\:\mathrm{0}\:,\:\mathrm{x}\:=\:\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{6}}\mathrm{c} \\ $$$$\mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{max}} \:=\:\left(\mathrm{c}−\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{3}}\mathrm{c}\right)^{\mathrm{2}} .\left(\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{6}}\mathrm{c}\right)\:=\:\left(\frac{\mathrm{4c}^{\mathrm{2}} }{\mathrm{9}}\right)\left(\frac{\mathrm{c}}{\mathrm{6}}\right) \\ $$$$=\:\frac{\mathrm{2c}^{\mathrm{3}} }{\mathrm{27}}\:\blacksquare \\ $$$$ \\ $$
