Homework Statement


A box is given with a L = 1.414w and W = w and a cut size = x. Find the general formula for the maximum volume.

Homework Equations


L = 1.414w - 2x
W = w - 2x
H = x

The Attempt at a Solution


V = x(1.414w - 2x)(w - 2x)
V = 4x3 - 4.818x2w + 1.414w2
Apparently this isn't the general formula for max volume, so someone please help.
 
Never mind guys. I figured it out.
