Maximize Volume | Folding Box (open top)

In this example problem, we begin with a flat surface and are asked to form a box (without a top) by cutting a square from each corner and folding up the sides. We want to find the amount that we should cut from each corner so the resulting box has the greatest volume. This optimization problem wants us to maximize the volume of a box with no top.
