Think by yourself (1 minute) 
Calculate the actual granola box volume in cubic inches given:

Length ( L) = 6  3/8 inches
Height (H ) = 5  5/8 inches
Width (W) = 1  3/4 inches

2. Think by yourself (1 minute)

What is the formula for the surface area (A) of the box using the variables from problem one  (L, H, and W)?  A = ?

3. Pair with someone to check answers. (1 minute)

4. Wait to share until Mrs. Pyper calls on you. If you haven't already, make a name tag for your desk.

You've been contacted by the Grand Rapids Popcorn Company to create a container for a new wedding favor option. The challenge includes designing the largest volume rectangular prism carton using a 8 1/2" X 11" size piece of material.        

For ease of manufacturing and assembly, the design must be created using a net.

Check your net design that it actually makes a rectangular prism.

Work in pairs. Once finished, share your W, L, H and volume with the class for discussion.]]> 2016-07-27 01:36:35 UTC https://padlet.com/stacey_pyper/package/wish/117039014 Graph of volume as a function of W: stacey_pyper https://padlet.com/stacey_pyper/package/wish/117039504 What is the maximum W?
